The White Tower
The White Tower was started in 1076 and pleted in 1079. It was the oldest of the 20 towers which used to stand here. The white tower of London was first built by William, the conqueror to protect and control the city. Today it is the most popular tourists sight and attracts over three million visitors a year.
It was sometimes used as a palace for the kings and queens of English until the time of James I, but it is best known as a prison and execution place. Within the walls of the Tower, princes have been murdered, spies shot and Queens killed. One of the most famous executions was that of Ann Boleyn in 1536. She was killed because she couldn’t give Henry III a son.
The tower was also the scene of one of London’s most famous mysteries, known as the mystery of the princes in the Tower. Their uncle announced he himself was the new king and asked the people to call him Richard III. After that the two boys disappeared. It was the two sons that were murdered by the order of their uncle.
