So then why bother to visit one royal building in the United Kingdom—Buckingham Palace and another in the same country—Windsor Castle ？It turns out that there is a difference ，and you can find it pretty plainly in these two popular buildings. The Case for Castles Castles were residences for royalty.But they were also intended as defensive seats.Say youre a king who has taken a particular area over.Now you have to hold it.So you build a castle and staff it with soldiers to defend your conquered territory and ensure it remains part of your kingdom. Castles were built throughout Europe and the Middle East primarily for the protection of the king and his people.Some common features of castles include ： ●thick walls and heavy gates to keep invaders out ●protective low walls for archers to shoot with cover ●high towers for keeping a lookout for the surrounding lands ●gatehouses for admitting allies instead of allowing enemies into the castle The Place for Palaces Palaces ，on the contrary，had no defensive purposes.They were first meant for showing off the great victory of the war.Palaces were where the spoils(战利品) of war might be displayed ，along with grand architecture ，massive banquet halls ，golden table settings and maybe even hundreds of luxuriously decorated rooms
