The Tower of London

  The tower of London is the most interesting place in London because it reflects the history of the country. William the Conqueror built it in the eleventh century of great white stone. It was called the White Tower. The Tower of London was a fortress, a palace, a prison and a King’s Zoo. Now it is a museum. You can see a lot of interesting things in the halls of the White Tower. The symbol of the Tower of London is six black ravens. People keep them in the Tower and look after them very well because they believe that London will be rich while ravens live there. Therefore the birds have clipped wings and are guarded carefully.

  Nowadays the tower is still a prison. But in this prison the jewels are locked up. The jewels are the famous “crown jewels” of England. According to the traditions the Tower is guarded by the Yeoman Warders or Beefeaters. They still wear their 16^th century bright and colorful Tudor uniforms.
