St John's Chapel in the Tower of London

A topographical carte-de-visite showing St John's Chapel in the Tower of London.

The romanesque chapel is located on the second floor of the White Tower, which was built towards the end of the 11th century. Thick, round piers support unmoulded arches, notable for their simplicity, with simple carvings of scallop and leaf designs providing the only decoration.
