The Tower of London

The Tower of London from its beginning served as a prison and a place of execution. Many prisoners lived out their lives in cold, damp cells. Many of them laid their heads on the executionerﹸs chopping block. Among the victims there were noblemen, politicians and two of the Henry VIIIﹸs wives- Anne Boleyn and the Catherine Howard. By the time the first English monarch used the Tower as a royal residence, it had become a medieval palace and Englandﹸs strongest fortress. Two of the features of the fortress, Traitorﹸs Gate where all prisoners entered and Tower Green where many victims knelt before executioner, became known to most Londoners. Queen Elizabeth I, when she was arrested by her sister and brought to the Tower as a prisoner, passed through Traitorﹸs Gate.  So sure was she would soon move on to tower Green that she was supposed to have said, «I have taken my first step through Traitorﹸs Gate to heaven». Happily, Elizabeth emerged from the Tower unharmed. A number of her opponents when she was the Queen were less lucky: they lost their heads on her command. Although prisoners were held in the fortress even during the second World War, public beheading stopped in 1747.

And at last but not less important, I have a great desire to give you a little information about people of our city because only people make our city modern and attractive.

As for the history of our city> I should remind you that it goes back to the beginning of the 18^th century when in 1720 Peter-the-Great sent the expedition in our future city. Thus, our city began with a fortress which was built on the right side of the Irtysh River. Two centuries later it became the centre of metallurgical industry in the East-Kazakhstan and the centre of educational, cultural and scientific life.
