Jewel House, Crown Jewels vault in Tower of London, England
The Jewel House contains multiple display cases with mechanical conveyor belts that transport visitors past the collection of royal treasures and ceremonial objects.
Following the English Civil War in 1649, Colonel Thomas Blood attempted to steal the Crown Jewels from the Jewel House but was caught in the process.
The Jewel House presents the Imperial State Crown, which contains 2868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies among its ornaments.
The Tower of London provides guided tours of the Jewel House every thirty minutes, with extended hours during summer months from 9 AM to 5:30 PM.
The medieval strongroom within the Jewel House features walls measuring thirteen feet thick and a complex lock system requiring multiple keys.
