The tower of london1
The Tower of London has been
called «The Cradle of the English race». It is the oldest
palace, fortress and prison in Europe.
The great
fortress was created by William the Conqueror,2
nearly
900 years ago. The site was well chosen, the fortress commanded the
river approaches to the city and it protected the king and government
from the citizens of London.
The Tower of London is roughly
square in shape with two lines of defensive walls enclosing the tower
which for centuries has been known as the White Tower. The outer wall
is defenced by six towers on the river face and by two semi-circular
bastions at the north-east and northwest.
Over the centuries the Tower
has served many purposes. It has been a citadel, a royal palace, a
prison for dangerous offenders against the state.
The Tower
is entered at the foot of Tower Hill.3
One of the most well-known lowers is the Lion Tower. In this
semicircular tower the royal menagerie was housed. In 1834 the
menagerie was sent to Regent’s Park4
where it formed the present London Zoo. The tower was then
demolished.
The most
terrible of them was Bloody lower: Sir Thomas Moore was a prisoner
there.
There have
always been ravens at the Tower and some are-still there. These large
birds traditionally associated with ill-omen live on raw meat and
offal, but their favourite food is raw eggs. They are unfriendly and
it is unwise to touch or feed them.
There are
six birds. Their wings are clipped so that they cannot fly away.
Every night at exactly seven
minutes to 10 o’clock the oldest and most colourful ceremony takes
place for the last 700 years in the same form as it is seen today.
(From
«Tower
of London» by T. Butler)

Mighty fortress. Royal palace. Infamous prison.
Mighty fortress. Royal palace. Infamous prison.
When William the Conqueror built a mighty stone tower at the centre of his London fortress in the 1070s, defeated Londoners must have looked on in awe. Now nearly 1000 years later, the Tower still has the capacity to fascinate and horrify.
As protector of the Crown Jewels, home of the Yeomen Warders and its legendary guardians, the pampered ravens, the Tower now attracts over three million visitors a year. Here, the Ceremony of the Keys and other traditions live on, as do the ghost stories and terrible tales of torture and execution.
But the Tower also has a richer and more complex history, having been home to a wide array of institutions including the Royal Mint, the Royal Armouries and even a zoo.
The Conqueror’s fortress
In the 1070s, William the Conqueror, fresh from his victory but nervous of rebellion, began to build a massive stone fortress in London to defend and proclaim his royal power. Nothing like it had ever been seen in England before.
William intended his mighty castle keep not only to dominate the skyline, but also the hearts and minds of the defeated Londoners.
The Tower took around 20 years to build. Masons arrived from Normandy, bringing with them stone from Caen in France. Most of the actual labour was provided by Englishmen.

The fortress expands
Throughout history, the Tower has been adapted and developed to defend and control the nation.
Henry III (1216-72) and Edward I (1272-1307) expanded William’s fortress, adding huge ‘curtain’ (defensive) walls with a series of smaller towers, and enlarging the moat.
Did you know?
In 1240, Henry III had the Tower’s great keep painted white, making it the White Tower.
Tower of strength
Kings and queens used the Tower in times of trouble to protect their possessions and themselves. Arms and armour were made, tested and stored here until the 1800s.
The Tower also controlled the supply of the nation’s money. All coins of the realm were made at the Tower Mint from the reign of Edward I until 1810. Kings and queens also locked away their valuables and jewels at the Tower and even today, the Crown Jewels are protected by a garrison of soldiers.
Did you know?
The Tower’s defences failed once. During the Peasants’ Revolt of 1381, rebels ran in through the open gates!
The palace guards
The famous Yeoman Warders, recognised as symbols of the Tower all over the world, have been here for centuries. They were originally part of the Yeomen of the Guard, the monarch’s personal bodyguard who travelled with him.
Henry VIII (1507-47) decreed that some of them would stay and guard the Tower permanently.
Did you know?
Henry VII’s personal guards were the first ‘Beefeaters’, so named as they were permitted to eat as much beef as they wanted from the King’s table.
Royal life and death
Medieval kings and queens lived in luxurious apartments at the Tower. They worshipped in the Chapel Royal, kept a menagerie of exotic animals (which lasted until the 19th century) and welcomed foreign rulers at magnificent ceremonial occasions.
Although long since vanished, there was once a splendid royal palace to the south of the White Tower. Henry VIII modernised the rooms inside in preparation for the coronation of his new bride, Anne Boleyn in 1533. She and the King feasted here in splendour the night before Anne processed in triumph through the City of London to Westminster Abbey.
Three years later Anne was back at the Tower, this time accused of adultery and treason. She was held in the same luxurious lodgings before being executed by sword on Tower Green.

The Chapel Royal of St Peter ad Vincula
The Chapel is perhaps best known as being the burial place of some of the most famous Tower prisoners. This include three queens of England: Anne Boleyn, Catherine Howard and Jane Grey, all of whom were executed within the Tower in the 16th century.
Henry VIII’s wives were accused of adultery and treason. Lady Jane Grey was an unfortunate pawn in a plot to replace Mary I and was executed for high treason in 1554, aged only 17.
Did you know?
After their execution, the headless bodies of the queens were buried quickly and carelessly under the Chapel without any memorial.
Legends and ghosts
The Tower has been a visitor attraction since the 18th century, but numbers of tourists increased dramatically in the 1800s. Visitors were fascinated by the stories of England’s turbulent and sometimes gruesome history.
Stories of ghosts haunt the Tower. Anne Boleyn is said to stalk the site of her execution on Tower Green.
Arbella Stuart, the cousin of Elizabeth I who starved while under arrest for marrying without royal permission, is said to frequent the Queen’s House still.
Two smaller ghosts are thought to be the ‘princes in the Tower’, and the Yeomen Warders even tell a chilling tale of a huge bear who occasionally appears to frighten visitors to death.
The Tower Ravens
One of the most famous legends of the Tower surrounds the ravens. The story goes that should the ravens leave the Tower, both it and the kingdom will fall.
The ravens at the Tower today are cared for by a dedicated Yeoman Warder known as the Ravenmaster.
Did you know?
These highly intelligent birds have one flight feather trimmed to stop them flying away.

The Tower of London
In the year 1066, after his victory at the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror was seeking to strengthen his control over the subdued1 English territories. In the following 20 years in England nearly 40 castles were founded by him and his vassals. It was probably the largest castle-building operation in the whole history of medieval2 Europe.
One of the castles was to be founded inside London, already the largest English town in those times. The so-called Tower of London was built on remains of an ancient Roman fortification, and initially was built mainly from timber. Only a hundred years later it was reinforced with stone. The castle takes its name from the White Tower, which is the name of the main keep that still stands as of today. People from other towns referred to it as The Tower of London, and eventually it became a name widespread3 enough to stick.
Given its location and strategic importance, the castle soon became a residence for the richest and the most influential people across England. Over the years the castle has expanded greatly, because each of its owners was always seeking to add something distinct4 to its fortifications. One of the darker stories of that age is the tale of the Princes in the Tower, two young boys of royal blood who were declared illegitimate and then murdered by some unknown assailant5. Remains of two boys were found inside the castle in a wooden box in 1674.
Starting in the 16th century, the castle started to see its use as a royal residence. It gained much notoriety6 in following years though, as it was also used as a prison and a place of execution for people who’d fall out of favour with their rulers.
In modern times The Tower of London became less ominous7. At some point8 there was even a zoo inside. It started as a collection of royal pets that quickly outgrew its accommodations9 and was soon moved to the London Zoo located inside Regent’s Park. It’s still open nowadays and is a popular tourist landmark.
Since 1988 The Tower of London has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage10 Site. In the 21st century it’s mainly a tourist attraction. Usually you can visit the castle from Wednesday to Sunday, from 10 AM to 6 PM. The entrance fee for an adult is 25£. Visitors have free Wi-Fi access and can also buy some signature snacks in one of the cafes or kiosks inside.
Лондонский Тауэр
В 1066 году после победы в битве при Гастингсе Вильгельм Завоеватель искал способы укрепить своё влияние на покорённых английских территориях. В следующие 20 лет он и его вассалы заложили в Англии почти что 40 замков. Вполне вероятно, что это был самый масштабный проект по постройке замков во всей истории Средневековой Европы.
Один из этих замков был заложен в Лондоне, тогда уже самом большом городе Англии. Так называемый Лондонский Тауэр был построен на останках древней римской крепости, и изначально был в основном деревянным. Лишь сотню лет спустя его укрепили строительным камнем. Имя замка происходит от Уайт Тауэр, названия главной замковой крепости, стоящей и поныне. Люди из других городов называли её просто Лондонским Тауэром, и со временем имя стало распространённым и закрепилось.
Месторасположение замка и его стратегическая важность привели к тому, что вскоре он превратился в резиденцию самых богатых и влиятельных людей в Англии. С годами замок значительно расширялся, потому что каждый из его владельцев старался добавить что-то своё к фортификациям. Одна из мрачных историй тех времён – история так называемых тауэрских принцев: двух мальчиков королевской крови, объявленных незаконнорожденными и затем убитых неизвестным нападавшим. Останки двух мальчиков были найдены в деревянном ящике внутри замка в 1674 году.
Начиная с 16 столетия замок начал использоваться как королевская резиденция. В последующие годы однако за ним закрепилась дурная слава, так как он использовался и как тюрьма, а также и как место казни для людей, впавших в немилость перед правителями.
В современную эпоху Тауэр стал гораздо менее мрачным. Какое-то время внутри даже был зоопарк. Он начался как коллекция королевских животных, которая очень быстро переросла изначально отведённые под себя территории, и вскоре была перемещена в Лондонский зоопарк в Риджентс-парке. Он открыт и сегодня, и очень популярен у туристов.
С 1988 года Лондонский Тауэр состоит в списке Всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО. В 21 веке главным образом это туристический аттракцион. Обычно он открыт для посещения со среды по воскресенье с 10 утра до 6 вечера. Входной билет для взрослого стоит 25 фунтов. Посетителям предоставляется бесплатный Wi-Fi, также есть возможность приобрести фирменные закуски в одном из кафе и киосков внутри замка.
