Tore ng Londres

Ang Palasyong Maharlika at Kuta ng Kanyang Kamahalan, mas karaniwang kilala bilang ang Tore ng Londres (at sa kasaysayan kilala rin bilang Ang Tore), ay isang makasaysayang muog at monumento sa gitnang Londres, Inglatera, sa hilaga sa bangko ng Ilog Thames. Ito ay matatagpuan sa loob ng London Boro ng Toreng Hamlets at nakahiwalay mula sa silangang gilid ng Lungsod ng Londres sa pamamagitan ng bukas na espasyo na kilala bilang Burol ng Tore. Ito ay ang pinakalumang gusali na ginamit ng Pamahalaang Briton.

Ang Tore ng Londres ay madalas na kinilala bilang Puting Tore, ang orihinal na puro parisukat na muog ay binuo ni William ang Manlulupig noong 1,078. Gayunman, ang tower bilang isang kabuuan ay isang komplikadong lugar ng ilang mga gusali na nakatakda sa loob ng dalawang konsentrikong lagayan ng mga nagtatanggol na pader at isang moat.

Ang pangunahing gamit ng tore ay isang muog, isang bahay ng hari, at isang bilangguan (lalo na para sa mataas na kalagayan at mga bilanggong maharlika, tulad ng Prinsesa sa Tore at sa panghinaharap na Reynang Elizabeth I). Ang huling gamit ay humantong sa pariralang "na ipinadala sa Tore" (ibig sabihin "nabilanggo"). Ito rin ay nagsilbi bilang isang lugar ng pagpapatupad at labis na pagpapahirap, bilang isang taguan ng mga sandata, isang pondong salapi, isang zoo, sa Royal Mint, isang pampublikong tanggapan ng mga rekord, isang obserbatoryo, at simula 1,303, ang bahay ng Crown Jewels ng Nagkakaisang Kaharian.

Ngayon ang Tore ng Londres ay pinangangalagaan sa pamamagitan ng isang malayang kawanggawa, Makasaysayang Palasyong Maharlika, na hindi na tumatanggap ng pondo mula sa Pamahalaan o sa Crown.

A historical place and a must of museum lovers. You should not miss the Crown Jewels exhibit, and the crows at the tower, is not for a rainy day as buildings are not connected.

The Tower of London will captivate you with its fascinating past! While you’re here, make sure you don’t leave without seeing the world-famous crown jewels.

The crown jewels are on display here. It's a little overwhelming just how much history is here. I recommend taking a free tour with the yeoman warders, aka beefeaters. They're every hour - love them!

Can't miss attraction in London! Worth fighting the crowds to see this historic and beautiful site. Arrive when the tower opens and head straight for the Crown Jewels to avoid the lines.

The 900-year-old building is one of the world’s most famous. It is a unique place with a lot of history having previously been a royal palace, a prison and zoo.
