Le ch\u00e2teau de Caernarfon est l\u2019un des ch\u00e2teaux m\u00e9di\u00e9vaux les mieux conserv\u00e9s du Royaume-Uni et la forteresse la plus c\u00e9l\u00e8bre du nord du Pays de Galles. Le roi \u00c9douard Ier en lan\u00e7a la construction en 1283, apr\u00e8s sa conqu\u00eate du pays de Galles, pour en faire \u00e0 la fois une place forte et un si\u00e8ge du pouvoir royal anglais. Ses tours polygonales et ses murailles ray\u00e9es de bandes de pierre color\u00e9e, qui rappelleraient les remparts de Constantinople, dominent l\u2019embouchure de la Seiont sur le d\u00e9troit de Menai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le ch\u00e2teau est \u00e9troitement li\u00e9 \u00e0 la monarchie britannique. \u00c9douard II, premier prince de Galles anglais, y est n\u00e9 en 1284, et en 1969 le futur roi Charles III y fut investi prince de Galles. On parcourt les tours, les chemins de ronde et les corps de garde, et l\u2019on visite des expositions sur l\u2019histoire galloise et les princes de Galles. La tour de l\u2019Aigle, couronn\u00e9e de trois tourelles, offre une large vue sur la ville, le port, l\u2019\u00eele d\u2019Anglesey et les montagnes de Snowdonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
