Clifford's Tower

Clifford's Tower is part of the Norman castle of York, and it's all that remains of it. It was built on a manmade hill above the city and between the two rivers where it is. Its origins date back to the time of the Battle of Hastings and the Norman invasion into Great Britain, as its architectural style denotes. With circular and in ruins, the building exemplifies the architecture of the time and also facilitate some views from an elevated position of the city of York, without regard to those offered by the cathedral.
