Southsea Castle was built in 1544 as part of a series of fortifications constructed by King Henry VIII to protect against invasion from France and the Holy Roman Empire. Soon after the fort was completed, Henry stood inside and watched his flagship, the Mary Rose, sink at the Battle of the Solent against the French in July 1545. These days, the fort is a popular tourist attraction. For more information, visit: https://southseacastle.co.uk.
