The Tower of London: A Historic Fortress with a Haunting Legacy

The Tower of London, built by William the Conqueror in 1066, spans 18 acres and features 21 towers. Originally constructed of wood, it has served multiple purposes throughout history, including as a royal residence, armory, and treasury. The Tower is infamous for housing the Crown Jewels and for being a notorious prison where many famous victims, such as Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More, met their end. Rumored to be one of the most haunted locations in England, it is said that the ghosts of its tragic figures still roam its grounds.
