Danger There are some threats to the Tower of London, one of the threats is the pollution, the pollution from the cars and motor stuff are making the walls of the tower of London turning yellow, and in a couple of year, it would be a yellowish brownish color. Also there is another danger to the Tower of London, so according to the UNESCO’s agency, the site is being outnumbered by the new developments of the city, so it is getting old and it is not matching the style of the city so it is really bad.

Why should it be protected? The tower of London should be protected because it is a structure made 800 years ago and it has a lot of history in it, a lot of kings and queens have lived in the castle. It should also be protected because it represents the power of the Norman in the past, how strong they were. It has an amazing structure and it was a fortress and a gateway that protected London since 800 years ago so it is really important to the British people. I also think it should be protected because the tower of London is an example of a medieval fortress palace, which evolve from the 11th to the 16th centuries.

Another reason that this site should be in the World Most Fascinating Places is because it has a really long history behind it since in was built 800 years ago. It is
also one of the rarest royals building that survived in the so I think it should be protected carefully and it should be in the World Most Fascinating places.
