The Tower of London's Medieval Palace is reopening with a refreshed display that emphasizes its authentic medieval appearance. Built under King Henry III and Edward I, the spaces were used for domestic and diplomatic purposes. The restoration includes tactile displays and braille descriptions, making it more visitor-friendly while highlighting the lives of not just the Kings and Queens, but also the workers of the Tower. A focus on the contributions of medieval Queens and the Jewish community illustrates the diverse history of the palace.
The reimagined Medieval Palace at the Tower of London showcases historically accurate medieval decor and highlights the significance of medieval Queens like Eleanor of Castile.
For the first time, this historic part of the Tower of London is also telling the story of the medieval Jewish community, whose contributions were integral to its history.
