The Tower of London is the oldest palace, fortress and prison in Europe. The origins of the Tower begin with the Norman invasion of England. In the 1070s, William the Conqueror, fresh from his victory but nervous of rebellion, began to build a massive stone fortress in London to defend and proclaim his royal power. Nothing like it had ever been seen in England before. William the Conqueror’s great stone keep, later known as the White Tower, was once defended by a deep ditch on its north and west sides only. The eastern side was defended by the ancient Roman London city wall, whilst the River Thames protected the south side.
