The iconic Tower of London, dating from the Norman Conquest, is one of London and UK's major tourist attractions. Dating from 1066, it has played a prominent role in English history. It was besieged several times and controlling it became vital to controlling the capital and country. The Tower has served variously as an armoury, a treasury, a menagerie, the home of the Royal Mint, a public records office, and the home of the Crown Jewels of England.
