There have been fortifications on the site of the Tower of London for around 2000 years.

At various times, the Tower has been used as a Royal Palace, a menagerie, a prison and is now one of London's major tourist attractions. The British Crown Jewels are held there behind very tight security and the rest of the Tower is now a museum.
