Caernarfon Castle
Caernarfon Castle is a large late 13th–early 14th century Edwardian fortress on a peninsula by the River Seiont in north‑west Wales. Built as the administrative centre of north Wales, its surviving fabric consists largely of high curtain walls and many multi‑sided towers that link into the town walls and quay.

As it stood in 1330
The shape it held in its prime.
High grey ashlar curtain walls form a long rectangular circuit pierced at intervals by multi‑sided drum and polygonal towers with crenellated parapets and narrow arrow-slits. A handful of taller gate‑towers rise above the general wallline. The inner ward is largely open lawn with visible foundation lines where buildings would stand. The castle sits on a peninsula beside the River Seiont and links directly into the town walls and quay; roofs are mostly battlemented parapets rather than pitched roofs.
