IV.Read the text to learn more about places of interest in London.
There are a lot of interesting places in the City.One of them is the Tower of London. It was founded in the 11th century by William the Conqueror. For many centuries the Tower has beeh a fortress, a palace where the English kings lived and a prison, the greatest political leaders of the country were prisoned here. After the Stuart period only few prisoners were brought to the Tower. Instead more visitors came to see the ancient armour and weapons and the Crown Jewels. Now the Tower is simply a museum of arms but the ravens still live here. There is a legend that if the ravens disappear the Tower will fall. That's why the Tower and the birds are taken care of. The Tower is guarded by the Yeomen Warders or ''Beefeaters". They still wear red and black uniforms. Every night at 10 p.m. the Ceremony of the keys (which is 700 years old) or locking up the Tower for the night takes place.
The greatest building in the City is certainly St.Paul's Cathedral which was built by Sir Christopher Wren between 1675 and 1710 after the old building of the cathedral had been destroyed by the Great Fire. It rises to III metres and has a dome 34 metres in diameter. This dome is famous for its Whispering Gallery, where every word pronounced in a whisper can be heard from the opposite wall.
Trafalgar Square is London's geographical centre. It is one of the largest and most beautiful squares of London. The square was so named to commemorate Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. The Nelson Column is in the middle of the square. Four bronze lions look at the square from the monument.
On the north side of Trafalgar Square is the National Gallery, which contains one of the finest collections of pictures in the world. There are more than 850 masterpieces of all European Schools of painting.
There is another picture gallery in London - the Tate Gallery which was founded in 1897. The gallery has a rich collection of pictures by 16th century. It also has a large sculpture collection.
