Beaumaris Castle
Beaumaris Castle is a late 13th–early 14th century concentric castle on Anglesey, Wales, begun under Edward I and designed by James of St George. It consists of an outer moated ward with multiple towers and gatehouses surrounding a larger inner ward intended to contain domestic ranges; the site later fell into ruin and is now a maintained historic monument and tourist attraction.

As it stood in 1330
The shape it held in its prime.
Beaumaris is a near-rectangular concentric fortress of pale grey local stone set inside a water-filled moat. An outer ward of continuous curtain wall is punctuated by twelve round towers and two outer gatehouses; an inner ward with higher walls contains six massive towers and two large D-shaped gatehouses. The centre is a broad, grassy inner bailey where ranges of domestic buildings stood. The plan is highly symmetrical and the moat is directly adjacent to the southern gate.
