Edinburgh Castle is perhaps the City's most famous landmark. It stands on Castle Rock the remaining core of an extinct volcano, and has dominated the Edinburgh skyline for over 800 years, although during its long history the building has undergone many changes.
The oldest part of the present day Castle is St Margaret's Chapel, built in the early 12th century. The Half Moon Battery for artillery, a distinctive feature of the castle today was built in 1574.
