| [00:01.00] | Windsor Castle is the ultimate monument to English tradition. |
| [00:05.20] | But it's also more than that. |
| [00:07.00] | It's a building that at different times in our history has stood as a symbol of momentous change. |
| [00:12.85] | Windsor is the oldest,and the largest inhabited castle in the world. |
| [00:19.25] | It's been home to the country's monarchs for almost 1,000 years. |
| [00:23.84] | And it certainly looks every inch an ancient medieval fortress. |
| [00:29.78] | But the fascinating thing with this castle is that not everything about it is as it seems. |
| [00:36.47] | From the outside, |
| [00:37.37] | the heavy stone battlements and looming towers make it a forbidding spectacle. |
| [00:43.55] | Yet what makes it so special is how a castle was transformed into a palace. |
| [00:50.99] | Because Windsor is the creation of different monarchs, |
| [00:54.04] | each with their own style and ambition. |
| [00:56.93] | The elegant rooms,the works of art,the grand and the intimate,the strange and the exotic. |
| [01:09.06] | During its long life, |
| [01:10.45] | Windsor has been many things - a home to medieval chivalry and romance, |
| [01:16.59] | a baroque palace to restore royal fortunes after a king lost his head, |
| [01:22.28] | and an architectural fantasy. |
