Deal Castle and Its Unconventional Shape

While the United Kingdom is home to many castles and fortresses, Deal Castle, located in Kent, is a unique one among them. Built by Henry VIII in the mid-16th century, the castle is famous for its unconventional design and shape. The castle consists of circular inner and outer bastions on top of each other, approximately of the same size. Aside from its shape, the castle was also one of the first attempts by the English to get in on the new artillery race. Until the 20th century, Deal Castle was in use as a defensive fort; however, in the aftermath of World War 2, it turned into a museum. Today, the castle is open to visit and is one of the most historical sights belonging to the Tudor Era.
