Originally built in the 11th century as a Royal residence, it is now the home of the Crown Jewels. This is also the place where King Henry VIII (yup, that monarch with 6 wives!) had his second wife, Anne Boleyn beheaded for adultery!! Poor defenceless Anne.... Their only daughter, known also as the Virgin Queen, Elizabeth I later became the first English FEMALE monarch of the mighty British empire! Yeah, that's Girl Power for you!!!! ;-)
