📍 From Windsor Castle, United Kingdom
The Round Tower at Windsor Castle stands in Windsor, Berkshire, west of London, at the heart of a working royal residence. Raised on a steep artificial mound, the stone keep marks the division between the castle’s Upper and Lower Wards and gives its skyline a distinctive battlemented silhouette. The castle originated as a Norman stronghold, while the tower’s present height reflects nineteenth-century alterations under George IV. From the surrounding castle grounds, its broad, curved walls contrast with the planted slopes below and the more intricate façades of the royal buildings, making the tower’s scale and commanding position especially clear.
