Once upon a time,
the city was threatened by attack from the sea.
Henry VIII ordered that Southsea Castle be built to defend Portsmouth and it harbour. Since then the Castle has been guarding the city for over 400 years.		 Southsea castle D-Day Museum Natural History Museum Square Tower City Museum and Records Office Charles Dickens Birthplace
