The Tower - the main tourist attraction of Great Britain, a magnificent fortress conceived by William the Conqueror, brought to life by the great Gundulf, and being a part of London's royal heritage for over 1000 years. It changed its role, from a fortress to a palace, prison, execution site, minting place for coins, menagerie, observatory, museum. And if the stones of this mighty citadel could speak, imagine the stories they could tell. The events that have taken place here, and the tragic and heroic figures that have passed through its gates, have shaped the destinies of the nation.
