The oldest and largest still-inhabited castle in the world, Windsor Castle has been home to British royalty for almost 1000 years.
Now the official residence of Queen Elizabeth II, the castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1070 as a strategic stronghold along the River Thames, guarding the western approach to London high above the river.
The stone fortifications were added along the way, allowing the castle, which became a military headquarters building, to withstand multiple battles.
Windsor remains a working royal palace, made popular as a royal hunting ground that's close to the capital.
