Victoria Tower, Victorian monument in Saint Peter Port, Guernsey
The stone tower rises 100 feet high with a square design, fortified parapet, angled turrets, and an octagonal lantern topped with a coronet.
Construction of the tower began in 1848 following the first royal visit to Guernsey by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in 1846.
A time capsule containing English and Guernsey coins remains buried within the foundations of the tower since its construction ceremony.
Visitors can borrow keys from Guernsey Museum to access the tower and climb 99 steps of the spiral staircase to reach the viewing platform.
The tower incorporates red granite from Guet Quarry at Cobo and stands on land that previously contained both a windmill and an ancient menhir stone.
