Castell Harlech; Harlech Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Harlech Castle is a ruined medieval fortress built by Edward I between 1282 and 1289 on a rocky knoll above the Irish Sea. It survived Madog ap Llywelyn, fell to Owain Glyndŵr in 1404, resisted Yorkist forces until 1468, and was the last castle to surrender in the English Civil War. Its concentric sandstone walls and sea-facing steps reveal a place designed to be supplied, defended, and remembered.

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.
