Слайд 2Tower of London
Tower of London is a

historic monument in central London, England, on the north bank

of the River Thames. Many people mostly connect it with the oldest part, which is called The White Tower, the original square fortress built by William the Conqueror in 1078. However, the tower as a whole is a complex of several buildings set within two rings of defensive walls and a moat.

Слайд 3The tower's primary function was a fortress, a royal palace,

and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners,

such as the Princes in the Tower and the future Queen Elizabeth I). This last use has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower" (meaning "imprisoned"). It has also served as a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury, a zoo during WWII, the Royal Mint, a public records office, an observatory, and since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels.The water entrance to the Tower is often referred to as Traitor's Gate because prisoners accused of treason such as Queen Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More passed through it.The Tower today is principally a tourist attraction. Besides the buildings themselves, the British Crown Jewels, a fine armour collection from the Royal Armouries, and a remnant of the wall of the Roman fortress are on display.

Ravens
It

is supposed that there have been at least six ravens in residence at the tower for centuries. A legend is if the ravens ever leave the Tower of London, the White Tower, the monarchy, and the whole kingdom will fall. During the Second World War most of the Tower's ravens disappeared through shock during bombing raids, leaving a sole survivor named 'Grip'.

Crown jewels
The Crown

Jewels have been kept at the Tower of London since 1303, after they were stolen from Westminster Abbey. After the coronation of Charles II, they were locked away and shown for a viewing fee . However, this arrangement ended when Colonel Thomas Blood stole all the Crown Jewels . Then, the Crown Jewels were kept in a part of the Tower known as Jewel House, where armed guards defended them. They were temporarily taken out of the Tower during World War II and were secretly kept in the basement vaults of the Sun Life Insurance company in Montreal, Canada.

Слайд 8 Ghosts
The Tower of London is reputedly the

most haunted building in England. The ghost of Queen Anne

Boleyn, beheaded in 1536 for treason against King Henry VIII, has allegedly been seen haunting the chapel of St Peter-ad-Vincula, where she is buried, and walking around the White Tower carrying her head under her arm. Other ghosts include Henry VI, Lady Jane Grey, Margaret Pole, and the Princes in the Tower. In January 1816 a sentry on guard outside the Jewel House witnessed an inexplicable apparition of a bear advancing towards him. Reportedly the sentry died of fright a few days later.
