Gwynedd, Wales. The Welsh Castles of Edward I

Description

The castles of Beaumaris and Harlech (largely the work of the greatest military engineer of the time, James of St. George) and the fortified complexes of Caernarfon and Conwy are located in the former principality of Gwynedd, in north Wales. These extremely well preserved monuments are examples of the colonization and defense works carried out throughout the reign of Edward I (1272-1307) and the military architecture of the time.
