The centre of the tower. A defiant tower with a Romanesque chapel, which houses a huge collection of medieval weapons. Often ceremonial armour of former rulers and their war horses.

I'm not a war fan, but the armor and horses that are exhibited there are impressive

The White Tower was built between 1078 and 1100 by William the Conqueror to impress, subdue, and terrify Londoners, as well as deter foreign invaders.

Along with the entire Tower Fortress, the White Tower is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a Grade II listed building. Each floor is filled with exceptional exhibits that demonstrate how this impressive building and the entire Tower have been used over the centuries.
