Caernarfon Castle
In Welsh: Castell Caernarfon is a medieval building in Gwynedd north-west Wales. There was a motte and bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward 1st of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past - nearby is the Roman fort of Seqontium and the castle's walls are reminiscent of the Walls of Constantinople.
