|
||||||
| The Tower of London, located on the northern bank of the Thames River, was built in the 11th century. It was used alternately as a fortress, royal residence, and state prison in its early years. Today it is maintained as an arsenal with a garrison, and is open to the public. The well-preserved Norman and medieval structures cover nearly 7 hectares (18 acres). | ||||||
