Caernarfon castle - Wales - UK.

Caernarfon castle - Wales - UK.
'Caernarfon Castle' is recognised around the world as one of the greatest buildings
of the Middle Ages and work probably began in May 1283. This fortress-palace on
the banks of the 'River Seiont' is grouped with Edward I’s other castles at Conwy,
Beaumaris and Harlech.. But for sheer scale and architectural drama Caernarfon stands alone.

In 1911, the future Edward VIII was invested at Caernarfon Castle, and Prince Charles was invested there in 1969.

This gigantic building project eventually took 47 years and cost a staggering £25,000.

Gotcha'.... thanks Jaap'... you may have seen more than we did - as the castle was 'timed ticket' entry due to current restrictions and 'no tickets were available'... anyway I hope that you have good memories of your visit.. there is lots of history here. // Keep well and Cheers'.. from Dj.

Wow! The strength! Can you imagine attacking this fortress?
What I cannot imagine when I see these castles is, how did they defend themselves while building the place? For 47 years...

Yes that's a good point of view Nicolas'... if they ''needed'' defences - how did they defend ? until the castles were completed - Thanks for your intriguing historical question raiser ... // Dj.

A nice capture here David. A castle I have passed by a few times and even been inside I think. Looks like you had a good day out. Hope the weather holds.

Enjoy. Herb

That's correct Isabel.. at least these places - via a ticket - aren't as packed with other tourists... Thanks for taking a 'look see' here... now keep well and 'Good wishes' to you - from David J'
