Tower Green

Tower Green is a historic site within the Tower of London, a former royal fortress and prison in England. It is best known as the location where several notable prisoners, including queens and nobles, were executed during the Tudor period. Surrounded by the palace and castle walls, Tower Green served as a private execution site, away from public view, ensuring a degree of privacy and solemnity. Today, it’s a memorial space, marked by a stone unveiling, commemorating those who lost their lives there, and is a poignant reminder of England’s history of monarchy, power, and justice.
