Warwick Castle is located in the historic city of Warwick and is a distinct archaeological gem. It is a castle on the banks of the Avon River. It was built in 1068 AD, with a unique architectural design, which makes it appear from the outside like ancient castles in historical epics and drama films, with towering armored walls, castles, fortification towers, training rooms, and spacious indoor and outdoor squares. The castle is located on top of a hill overlooking the city, which gives it a distinctive view of most areas of the city.
