Dover Castle is one of the largest castles in the country, playing a prominent part in national history. Its origins lie in the Iron age and the oldest building is the Roman Pharos. William the Conquerer strengthened existing fortifications in 1066, Henry II adding the Keep in the 1180s. Defences were enlarged and improved over the centuries and the castle and was used as a command centre during WW2.
