Show Famed Tower of London Not one, but many towers compose the famed Tower of London. Normans Nor-mans built the fortress on the ruins of another fort constructed by Julius Ju-lius Caesar's legions. It has served since as the royal palace, a prison, and, finally, as sort of an historical I museum and resting place for the ; crown jewels. Until 1834. it also : housed the royal menagerie. Though many persons believe it still ' is an impregnable fort guarding ; London, its chief weapons are an- cient swords and armor of historical value. |
