Tower of London
The Tower of London is a historic Norman-origin citadel on the north bank of the River Thames in London. It is a complex of several buildings — dominated by the White Tower keep — set within two concentric rings of curtain walls, towers and a defended river wharf. The site has served varied functions including royal residence, armoury, prison and treasury and its general medieval layout was completed under Edward I.

As it stood in 1285
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive square keep (the White Tower) of pale Kentish ragstone stands at the core, with projecting square corner towers, a round stair-turret to the north-east and a semi-circular apse to the south-east for the chapel. The keep rises above two concentric curtain walls with crenellated battlements and multiple flanking towers. The castle sits directly beside the Thames with a stone wharf and water-gate, the whole complex appearing complete and regularly coursed in medieval masonry.
