What is recorded here
Caernarfon Castle 30 June 1969 is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps the stones held their breath while waiting for a hand that never came. Maybe the towers leaned inward like listeners at a secret meeting. Imagine the courtyard empty except for shadow and the patience of rock.

Built by Edward I of England in the late 13th century, Caernarfon Castle was a key element in his strategy to subdue and govern Wales. It is important as a symbol of medieval English power and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
