English: York Castle or, as it is better known, Clifford's Tower A fortress was built here by William the Conqueror in 1068 but was destroyed by local dissenters. The castle was rebuilt and destroyed on several occasions but finally, Richard I built a stone castle in the latter part of the 12th century, of which the tower is still standing.
