The Fortresses of London

London is a city filled with grand buildings, famous landmarks, and bustling streets - but hidden among the modern sights are powerful reminders of its dramatic past. The city’s ancient fortresses and castles tell stories of kings and queens, battles and betrayals, and royal power that once ruled with iron and fire. These mighty structures were built to protect the city, house royalty, and sometimes to keep enemies - or unlucky prisoners - locked inside
