THE PLACES TO VISIT.
At the beginning of the 11th century England was already a big country and London was a very important city. In 1066 William the Conqueror and his people went to England from Normandy in France.
William the Conqueror became the king of England. The King lived in London. Many of people lived in London too. But William was afraid of the English, of the people of London and he built the White Tower to live in it. Now it is one of the most important and beautiful buildings of the Tower of London. The Tower of London was a fortress, a palace, a prison, a place of execution and the King's Zoo.
Today the Tower is best known as a historical museum. You can see a lot of interesting things there.
Probably, everybody knows about the symbols of the Tower. One of them is ravens. There are always at least 6 black ravens in the Tower of London. People keep them in the Tower of London and look after them very well as they believe that London will be rich while ravens live there. That`s why they get "paid" meat and biscuits every day. Besides, their wings are cut so that they can`t fly away. But ravens are not very friendly.
The next important symbol of the Tower is the Beefeaters. They used to guard the Tower and its prisoners. Today they work mostly as guides. Moreover, they show people around and tell stories about all the terrible things that have happened here. The beefeaters wear special uniform .Of course, they respect Queen Elizabeth the second.
The British are proud of traditions of their country. They love Great Britain so much and can't imagine their life without the Tower, because this famous historical place is the heart of Britain.
