The Town

Windsor is probably best known for its castle, home of the British
Monarchy for almost a thousand years, and the largest inhabited
castle in the world.
In the Middle Ages Windsor was a wealthy town, its prosperity fuelled by investments in the castle, which in turn brought London merchants to the town. After a period of decline new barracks were built in the 19th century, two railways arrived and Windsor became the centre of the Empire after Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837.
