【BBC女王的宫殿】温莎城堡1
溫莎城堡（英语：Windsor Castle），位於英國英格蘭東南部區域伯克郡溫莎-梅登黑德皇家自治市鎮溫莎，目前是英國王室溫莎王朝的家族城堡，也是現今世界上有人居住的城堡中最大的一個。
溫莎城堡的歷史可以回溯到威廉一世時期，城堡的地板面積大約有45,000平方公尺（484,000平方英呎）。與倫敦的白金漢宮、愛丁堡的荷里路德宮（Holyrood Palace）一樣，溫莎城堡也是英國君主主要的行政官邸。現任的英國女王伊麗莎白二世每年有相當多的時間在溫莎城堡度過，在這裡進行國家或是私人的娛樂活動。她的另外兩棟宅邸則是皇室的私人住宅，分別是桑德林漢姆別墅（Sandringham House）及巴爾莫勒爾堡（Balmoral Castle）。

Windsor is the oldest, and the largest inhabited castle in the world. It's been home to the country's monarchs for almost 1,000 years. And it certainly looks every inch an ancient medieval fortress.
But the fascinating thing with this castle is that not everything about it is as it seems.
From the outside, the heavy stone battlements and looming towers make it a forbidding spectacle.
Yet what makes it so special is how a castle was transformedinto a palace.
Because Windsor is the creationof different monarchs, each with their own style and ambition. The elegant rooms, the works of art, the grand and the intimate, the strange and the exotic. During its long life, Windsor has been many things - a home to medieval chivalryand romance, a baroque palace to restore royal fortunes after a king lost his head, and an architectural fantasy.温莎城堡是英国传统最佳的诠释，但并不限于此。这栋建筑，在不同的历史时期，有着标志性的重大变化。温莎城堡是世界上最大最古老的有人居住的城堡，作为英国君主的住地，已有近千年的时间了。外表上看起来就是一座中世纪的古堡，但是这座古堡引人入胜的历史，并不是表面看起来那么简单。外观上，石筑的城垛和耸立的高塔，构成了冷峻的画面，然而最令人好奇的是这座古堡是怎么变成宫殿的？因为温莎古堡是由不同君主建造的，体现着各自的风格和野心，典雅的房间，有艺术作品，有恢弘的气势，以及幽静的氛围，有奇特的异国物品，在它漫长的历史中，温莎城堡发生了许许多多的故事。这里有中世纪的骑士和浪漫，有国王被砍头后恢复的巴洛克式宫殿，还有建筑的奇葩。
