Caernarfon Castle
Castle from outsideCaernarfon Castle is probably most known medieval monument in Wales. Works had starter short after Wales was conquered by English king Edward I. This castle - with couple of different ones: Conwy, Harlech and Beaumaris - had a specific assignment. It was flanking undefeated Welsh people in Snowdonia and take a control over the coast. This castle in typical example of medieval fortress and it was used as a model to several computer games. Despite of Caernarfon castle is a ruin inside were organised some interesting exhibitions (in contrast to Conwy castle).
While we were visited there at the castle courtyard had been a mediaval knights tournament performance. It seems quite real and obviously most of the visitors assembled and crowded together to see an event. Nice and colorful performance.
Caernarfon is bilingual and we haerd Welch language couple of times over the streets. I support any efforts to keep and save natives languages or revitalision of these ones those are obsolete either not in use. The number of Welsh speakers increasing.
Recommended to visit.
