Westminster was destroyed by the
fire of the night of the 16 of october,
of 1834. The tower is designed to
the Victorian Gothic style, and
he/she has 96,3 m of height. The

those days that they considered
less strong, where its parliaments
were governed mainly by the
classic style.

face of the clock there is an
inscription in Latin: 'SALVAM
DOMINATES FAC REGINAM
NOSTRAM VICTORIAM
PRIMAM' (God keeps our
queen Victoria I).

35. AT THE PRESENT TIME

grades, people don't notice it almost anything, and most of people don't arrive him
that is if they don't say it for the tv, that is due to that takes many years in foot and
