castles
Castles were built on top of mountains. That would help you fight off and shoot arrows at enemies. Most castles had a moat around the castle. That is a deep ditch filled with water. The curtain wall allowed troops to shoot out the wall. The Tower of London is one of the great castles in Europe. Castles were used for defense.
The gatehouse helped reinforce the weak part of the castle. The keep was the last place of defense. Kings owned the big castles. Knights had their own mini castle. Only noblemen lived in castles.
