The Great Tower of Dover Castle was built by Henry II, one of the most powerful English kings of all time, to entertain the leaders of Christendom.
The Great Tower at Dover Castle is the most spectacular building in one of Europe's most spectacular castles.
During the eight centuries of its existence it has been the scene of numerous events in the mainstream of English history. Its heyday, however, was undoubtedly in the decades after its creation in the late 12th century.
But although it is superbly preserved and still gives an instant impression of the power and ambition of its builder, to understand how it might have functioned, looked and felt in that period requires a lot more knowledge and imagination.
