ordered it to be made, in 1078 to protect the city of
Londinum, currently London. He did not want any of the Roman forts
still existing; instead, he made the whole thing out of hard stone
imported from France. The moat itself was created by King Richard the
Lonheart, and it used to be filled with water from the River Thames,
where the moat was drained in 1830, and piles of human dead bones were
found at the bottom of the former moat. The Tower of London Consists of
many towers, such as the Middle Tower, Bywars Tower, Bloody Tower,
Wakefield Tower, Beauchamp Tower, Tower of Green, White Tower, and so
on. This masterpiece made of centuries of refinement, expansion, and
building shows great history within it, making this castle one of the
most popular tourist sites of the United Kingdom. With walls 15 feet
thick and 90 feet high, to the feeblest staircases with a bloody
history, and the royal signature of the kings and queens, topped with
all the graffiti on the walls of the prisons, waiting to be beheaded.
The colorful castle is deep in its existence, and most of it still
stands even today, after almost millennia after it was made from
countless numbers of stone.
