What travelers say:

The Clifford Tower was built by William the Conqueror to suppress the rebellious North, and was once a Royal Mint, a medieval fortress and a Civil War garrison. One of the worst anti-Semitic massacres of the Middle Ages occurred on the site of the tower in 1190, when the Jewish community in York was trapped by a mob and many Jews chose to commit suicide rather than murder. Today, a new roof terrace offers unparalleled views of York's historic skyline, with its medieval architecture and famous cathedrals. Inside, new sidewalks and staircases open parts of the tower that have been banned for centuries, immersive soundscapes and stories bring to life the tower's turbulent history.
