  • St Dunstan in the East

    9 de mayo de 2025, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Nestled in the heart of London, this tranquil garden is set within the ruins of a medieval church dating back to the early 12th century. The church endured the Great Fire of London in 1666 and was later rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren, whose iconic tower still stands today. During the Blitz of 1941, the church was severely damaged, leaving only the tower and parts of the walls intact. In 1967, the City of London transformed the ruins into a public garden, which opened in 1971. Today, it serves as a peaceful oasis, blending history with nature in the bustling city.Leer más

  • Tower of London

    9 de mayo de 2025, Inglaterra ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Traitors’ Gate is one of the most famous entrances to the Tower of London. Built by King Edward I in the 1270s as part of a new watergate, it allowed royal boats to bring people directly into the Tower from the River Thames. Over time, it gained a notorious reputation as the entry point for prisoners accused of treason. High-profile figures like Queen Anne Boleyn and Sir Thomas More passed through its arches on their way to imprisonment—and often execution. Today, Traitors’ Gate stands as a powerful reminder of the Tower’s long and often grim role in English history.Leer más
