On the southern tip of the island of Portsea is a castle built in 1544-1545 under Henry VIII. It was part of the fortifications that were supposed to protect the ports on the south and east coasts. The main tower surrounded by a dry moat is essentially Tudor style. The castle features an exhibition on Portsmouth's fortifications, Henry VIII's time and the Civil War.
