What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell Harlech; Harlech Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Edward I of England built Harlech Castle in the late 13th century, primarily to consolidate English control over Wales following the conquest of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd. It is remembered as one of the key strongholds of the Welsh Wars and a symbol of both English dominance and Welsh resistance.
