Nottingham Castle, Castle and museum in Nottingham, England
The castle stands on a sandstone cliff rising 40 meters above the city, with defensive walls and underground passages through the rock formation.
William the Conqueror ordered the construction of the first wooden castle in 1067, which was later replaced with stone structures under Henry I.
The castle houses permanent exhibitions of local history, medieval artifacts, and art collections depicting the evolution of Nottingham through centuries.
Entry tickets include access to the castle grounds, museum galleries, and guided tours of the medieval caves beneath the structure.
The castle contains a network of over 500 sandstone caves dating from medieval times, used for storage, defense, and escape routes.
