Lincoln Castle - England
Lincoln, England

Lincoln Castle was one of the first great castles to be built by William the Conqueror. Begun in 1068 he used the hill top site that the Romans had occupied with their first fort. The prison was built on the castle green enclosure in 1787 and enlarged by the Victorians. Many prisoners here were deported to Australia and many more were executed on the ramparts.
