WINDSOR CASTLE
LONDON
IMAGE NUMBER 945
Windsor Castle occupies 13 acres and combines the features of a fortification, a palace, and a small town. The present-day castle was created during a sequence of phased building projects, culminating in the reconstruction work after a fire in 1992. It is in essence a Georgian and Victorian design based on a medieval structure, with Gothic features reinvented in a modern style. Although there has been some criticism, the castle's architecture and history lends it a place amongst the greatest European palaces.
