Description
Caernarvon is architecturally one of the most impressive of all of the castles in Wales. It's defensive capabilities were not as overt or as powerful as those of Edward I's other castles such as Harlech and Beaumaris (which indicate the pinnacle of castle building and defenses in Britain), but Caernarvon was instead intended as a seat of power - and as a symbol of English dominance over the Welsh. Caernarvon is located at the southern end of the Menai Strait between north Wales and Anglesey. As with all of the castles of Edward's Iron Ring, Caernarvon was built on the shoreline.
