Aberffraw Castle

Aberffraw Castle was a medieval fortress located on the island of Anglesey in Wales. Built around the 12th century, it served as a strategic stronghold during times of conflict, particularly between the Welsh princes and invading forces. The castle was simple in design, mainly earthworks and stone defenses, aimed at controlling the surrounding area and protecting its inhabitants. Over time, it fell into ruin, but its remains offer insight into medieval Welsh military architecture and history. Today, the site is a historic landmark, reflecting the island’s rich past and strategic importance in Welsh history.
