Southsea Castle

Southsea Castle The castle building is magnificent and very good! The texture of the movie, and the design of the spire of the building is particularly special. ～ There is a large grass behind the castle for tourists to relax. ～

Portsmouth has long been known for its status as a Royal Navy port, where Allied troops retreated mainly during the Great Retreat of Dunkirk in World War II. It was later the site of the Allies' planning of the Normandy campaign, where Eisenhower and Bernard Lau Montgomery set up the Allies' Supreme Command north of Portsmouth, the most important Portsmouth naval base in the Royal Navy. Built in 1544, the South China Sea Castle was first built as Chadden Castle as part of a series of fortifications built by Henry VIII to resist foreign aggression. Henry VIII watched the pilot ship Mary Ruth sink from the sea near here. The small, inconspicuous building on the right side of the picture below is more unusual than the elegant spire. It is the former residence of William Wylie (William Wyllie), a famous British marine painter from the 19th to 20th centuries. This place is on the east side of the sea. It has excellent views of the port and the outside, and the waters in the direction of the Isle of Wight outside the port are the venues held by major ship-reading events in the history of the Royal Navy. Spithead waters, many famous sea war paintings are created here, in the newly opened Jutland Sea War Exhibition area of Portsmouth Historic Dockyard, there are some William Wylie paintings on the theme of this sea war, at the National Gallery in London (National Gallery) There is also a collection of William Wylie's paintings, but unfortunately we have a hurry and we have not found them.

A very favorite castle, ancient fort, the restaurant inside has creative dishes, the style is not lost, the music is light, the outside is the seaside high dike, the blue-green sea, although it is still summer, but the sea breeze is a bit cool.

I like the tranquility of Portsmouth, along the coastline, walking around the tower, this military port city is accompanying you this morning, there are seagulls, sea colored sea, boats to the Isle of Wight and France, I really hope to be back here again, justforLife

Portsmouth South Sea Castle is a local attraction, but among the castles across England, it is not majestic or grand, and it doesn't matter whether to visit it. Portsmouth pier is more worth visiting, the sailing tower can buy tickets to go up, overlooking the city and the sea, very beautiful.
