CAERNARFON CASTLE

1090 motte & bailey castle on Roman site rebuilt in 1283 into an immensely powerful structure with 6 towers and 2 gateways as part of the fortification of North Wales. The town walls were constructed at the same time. It was destined to be demolished in 1660 but the work never started.

Cadw, open all year.
