If you go to London, you will certainly visit this very famous monument.

a. History

It was founded in 1066 by William 1^st, best known as "William the Conqueror", on the North bank of the River Thames, in London.

It was alternatively a Palace, a Royal Prison, the home of the Royal Arsenal, the Royal Observatory, and even the Royal Zoo!
Today it is the home of the Crown Jewels*.

b. The Warders*

Ever since its foundation, the Tower has been warded.
Today you can easily recognize the warders thanks to their red and golden costume.
