Roy­al Ar­mouries in White Tow­er

About

Step­ping in­side the Tow­er of Lon­don's Roy­al Ar­mouries was like step­ping back in time to an era of knights and epic bat­tles. The fortress walls housed an as­tound­ing col­lec­tion of arms and ar­mor, show­cas­ing the evo­lu­tion of weapon­ry through cen­turies. Each piece, il­lu­mi­nat­ed soft­ly, held a sto­ry. We were par­tic­u­lar­ly cap­ti­vat­ed by the cer­e­mo­ni­al pieces – their artistry was sim­ply stun­ning.

Sim­ple me­dieval swords sat along­side elab­o­rate firearms, each telling a silent tale of bat­tles fought and lives lived. You could­n't help but feel a shiv­er run down your spine, imag­in­ing the his­to­ry con­tained with­in those walls. For any­one in­ter­est­ed in his­to­ry, the Roy­al Ar­mouries is an ab­solute must-see – a fas­ci­nat­ing and slight­ly eerie glimpse into the world of war­fare.
