Oxford Castle is a medieval Norman castle built by Robert D'Oyly in 1071. It later became a prison that operated until 1996. Today visitors can explore the Saxon tower, 18th-century crypts, and chilling dungeons through guided tours led by costumed characters. St. George's Tower offers panoramic views across the city.
