Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell
Caernarfon) is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales
cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. There
was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th
century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the
current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the
administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on
a grand scale.
There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the
Roman fort of Segontium is nearby.
