Victoria Tower is a prominent landmark situated on the east coast of Guernsey. It is a tower built in the Gothic style, standing at 33 meters high, and was completed in 1848 to commemorate the visit of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert to the island in 1846.
The tower has a spiral staircase of 99 steps, which leads to a viewing platform at the top of the tower, offering panoramic views of the island's east coast and across to the neighboring islands of Herm and Sark. The tower is constructed of Guernsey granite and has been restored over the years.
Today, Victoria Tower is a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for visits during the summer months. It is also a popular spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the views and take in the fresh sea air. The tower is a symbol of Guernsey's rich history and serves as a reminder of the island's close ties to the British monarchy.
