The Tower of London is an ancient castle situated on the Thames.
The Tower of London is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. The origins of the Tower begin in 1066.
It has strong stone walls.
The original structure was completed by the addition of a ditch and
palisade along the north and west sides. Then a stone
structure was built and later it was named the White Tower. Nowadays there are three big towers there. During the centuries the Tower was a palace, a fortress, a prison, a zoo, and nor it is a museum. The Tower of London ravens can't fly due to the fact their
wings are clipped. This tradition relates to a superstition from the
time of Charles II that when there are no longer ravens at the Tower
both the White Tower and the Commonwealth of England will fall.
