La Torre de Londres es uno de los monumentos más famosos del mundo. Fue construida en el siglo XI (hace casi 1.000 años), y ha sido testigo de innumerables acontecimientos relevantes para el desarrollo de la actual monarquía parlamentaria británica. Durante la visita, podrá conocer a los famosos guardianes “Yeoman” o “Beefeaters”, vestidos como en la época de los Tudor, podrá escuchar la leyenda de los cuervos y también cuentos aterradores sobre la historia de la Torre. Visite la infame Torre Sangrienta, donde los príncipes fueron asesinados, la Torre Beauchamp donde los visitantes pueden leer inscripciones grabadas por los antiguos prisioneros y la Puerta de los Traidores, donde se empalaba la cabeza de los prisioneros más desgraciados, y mucho más.

Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest occupied castle in the world, is one of the official residences of Her Majesty The Queen. The Castle's dramatic site encapsulates 900 years of British history. It covers an area of 26 acres and contains, as well as a royal palace, a magnificent chapel and the homes and workplaces of a large number of people. What there is to see: The magnificent State Apartments are furnished with some of the finest works of art from the Royal Collection, including paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Canaletto, Gainsborough and the famous triple portrait of Charles I by Sir Anthony van Dyck. In 1992 fire destroyed or damaged more than 100 rooms at the Castle. By good fortune the rooms worst affected were empty at the time, and as a result, few of the Castle's artistic treasures were destroyed. The highly acclaimed restoration work, completed in 1997, is a testament to the extraordinary skills of some of the finest craftsmen in Europe. From October to March visitors can also enjoy George IV's private apartments (the Semi-State Rooms), among the most richly decorated interiors in the Castle. St George's Chapel is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture in England. It is the spiritual home of the Order of the Garter, the senior order of British Chivalry established in 1348 by Edward III. Within the chapel are the tombs of ten sovereigns, including Henry VIII and his third wife Jane Seymour, and Charles I. Among the highlights of a visit to Windsor is Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the most famous dolls' house in the world. The Drawings Gallery shows changing exhibitions of material from the Royal Library at Windsor Castle. The special display below is shown alongside a selection of treasures from the Royal Library.
