The White Tower Oct 19 2024 at 4:29am EDT Unfortunately, I was unable to go inside. By the time I was done with the other sites (thanks to the endless line to get into the Crown Jewels), this section was closed for the day.
 The great stone keep, begun by William the Conqueror, was completed around 1100 and painted white in 1240 to make it more imposing. The top storey was added in 1490, and the onion shaped turret roofs under Henry VIII. Most of the windows were enlarged in the 17th and 18th centuries, and Salvin restored the chapel windows in a Norman style. Posted in "The Tower of London Trails"  |
