God’s House Tower

Price range: $

Southampton's God's House Tower boasts a centuries-long history dating back to its 13th-century construction. Originally erected as a defensive measure during medieval times, King Edward III mandated its creation after a devastating French raid in 1338. This tower stands as an early example of a fort equipped with cannons and gunpowder, doubling as a strategic vantage point over the Solent. As sea assaults waned, portions of the tower transitioned into a town jail before being transformed into an archaeology museum. Today, this iconic structure thrives as the city's vibrant arts and heritage hub, enlivening tales of the past and celebrating the creations of visual artists.
