DOVER Palace
Dover is extremely close to Europe (as close as you can get from Britain), so it must be extremely energized to protect the nation’s lands. Did you know that a few fortresses have been here, close to the Dover White Bluffs, since the Iron Age? There are a lot of remains of that, similar to the Roman beacon or a tonne of stowed-away underground passages. Dover was truly an English port for a long time, so it was an important location. That is why the rulers of the United Kingdom chose to work at Dover Palace.
The historical backdrop of the Dover Palace in White Bluffs began after the Romans showed up in Britain and worked here at two beacons and a few different fortresses. Ten centuries later, William, the Hero won the Battle of Hastings here and was chosen to build the massive line of strongholds that included the old beacons, which should be visible in the ongoing stonework (those Roman beacons are just two of the many that made it on the planet).
It’s additionally intriguing that underneath the Dover Palace we can find many secret passages, something like a many-leveled labyrinth. During the Napoleonic Wars, these passages were greatly expanded to accommodate more than 2,000 warriors. Yet again, Napoleon never came to Britain; however, those passages were utilized during the Second Great War as a medical clinic and the war room. The Dover Palace in Britain is open to the public as well as the directed passage.
