Which of these famous landmarks once served as a prison?
The Louvre
The Colosseum
Tower of London
The Parthenon
Fact: The Tower of London is one of the world’s most storied fortresses, and for centuries it doubled as a notorious prison. Originally built by William the Conqueror in the 11th century as a royal stronghold, it later became the holding place for political rivals, religious dissenters, spies, and even members of the royal family. Figures such as Anne Boleyn, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Guy Fawkes were imprisoned within its walls. Today, the Tower is a major historic site and home to the Crown Jewels—far removed from its darker past.
Correct Answer: Tower of London
