What is recorded here
The Black Tower and Queen's Gate Tower of Caernarfon Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps soldiers watched the valley from above while lovers pressed themselves against the cold stone below. Maybe the towers still hold the heat of every hand that climbed them.

Built by King Edward I during his conquest of Wales in the late 13th century, the Black Tower and Queen's Gate Tower are significant components of Caernarfon Castle, a symbol of English dominance and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
