The Tower of London is one of the world’s oldest and most famous prisons, though its original purpose was not to house criminals. In fact, the Tower, which is actually a complex of several towers and structures, was built in the latter part of the 11th century as fortress to protect London, the capital city of the British Empire. The Tower of London soon became notorious for its other, more brutal, uses.

The Tower of London is arguably the most famous fortress in the world and has starred in numerous films. Built by William the Conqueror in 1086, it has been part of British history ever since, having served as an armoury, zoo, treasury, prison and royal palace over time. Today, the British Crown Jewels are housed inside, which can be admired by visitors. Definitely worth seeing.
