Warwick Castle
Warwick Castle is a medieval shell keep castle in Warwick, the county town of Warwickshire, England. It sits on a cliff overlooking a bend in the River Avon. Warwick Castle was used as a fortification until the early 17th century, when Sir Fulke Greville converted it to a country house. The castle is a popular tourist attraction and features one of the world's largest siege engines. It is the subject of several paintings and drawings by the 17th-century Italian master Antonio Canaletto. Warwick Castle is rumoured to be haunted; in 2006 it was featured in an episode of the television programme Most Haunted.
