We left our Hostel "Saint christopher's Inn in London;We took a ride on London's iconic 2 deck- buses to get to the famous castle the Tower of London
In this ride we got to see the city of London and we could appreciate their architecture.
The Tower of London was originally built by William the conqueror in the 11th Century as a symbol of Norman power. Many towers were built for the purposes of a royal residence, treasury, armory and also as a prison.
It held a lot of prisoners and royal executions, including those of queens, nobles and also commoners.
The Tower was a prison thanks to the security, the royal authority that the Castle has, it was very convenient thanks to the position that it was located in, the tower was very versatile because it's a very large and intimidating building because of the architecture.
Today is a Unesco World heritage site, touristic attraction and a sort of museum.

Stepped in legend and tradition if the ravens ever fly away, the kingdom will fall.
The origin of this legend is kinda unknown / unclear. Charles II ordered it to make the tower more imponent.
We know that they eat meat, biscuits and blood to make them more healthy. However they chopped the back part of their wings off so that they would never fly away
La Torre de Londres
La torre de Londres nos impresionó por su historia y reliquias. Antes de entrar, escuchamos sonidos de cuervos pero no eran cuervos normales como en Lima, estos eran 3 o 4 veces más grandes e imponentes. La importancia de los cuervos para el castillo también nos sorprendió, ya que si llegaran a desaparecer, significaría la caída de la monarquía inglesa y el fin del Reino Unido. La cantidad de lugares cerrados para el público deja mucho que pensar sobre el castillo y lo que contiene. También, nos impactó su arquitectura tan magnífica y asombrosa. Dentro del museo abruma una presencia de antigüedad e historia gracias a las reliquias que contiene.
Como por ejemplo la silla de Henry II
Este museo contiene algunas reliquias como las coronas de los antiguos reyes de Inglaterra.

Conclusion :
Ce site touristique est très intéressant à visiter pour connaître l'histoire de l'Angleterre et en particulier celle de ses reines et roi. Cette fortification médiévale est magnifique à visiter seul ou en famille. Ce qui ressort le plus de ce château n'est pas son contenu ou son histoire, mais l'architecture et les légendes qu'il renferme.
Ce château a été le préféré de beaucoup de gens et le nôtre aussi, surtout en raison des antiquités et de la modernité du bâtiment.
