Walls of Caernarfon

The Walls of Caernarfon are historic stone fortifications surrounding the town of Caernarfon in North Wales, built in the late 13th and early 14th centuries by Edward I of England. Designed to secure and control the region, these impressive walls feature towers, battlements, and gateways, reflecting medieval military architecture. They also served as a symbol of royal power and authority. Today, the walls are a well-preserved heritage site, offering visitors insight into medieval warfare, engineering, and the history of Welsh resistance and crown influence during that period.
