Architecture

The Tower of London was both a defensive and palace building for the monarchs of England, but the last ruler to use it was James I.

During the German occupation of Paris, the elevators on the tower were disabled by cutting the cables and the tower was closed to tourists.

When the Crusaders marched on Jerusalem, the castle was abandoned.

The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, its coastal strip, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 due to its aesthetic value and importance to Christian tradition.

The bridge is frequently partially covered by fog, called Karl the Fog.

Every year, the Christ the Redeemer Monument is visited by almost 2 million tourists.

The bridge was built in the Victorian style.

During the civil war called the Wars of the Roses in the years 1377 - 1485, when England was divided into two houses of Lancaster and York and their supporters, the character of the Tower changed.

It was a place of cruel and bloody fights between gladiators and wild animals.
