Re Edoardo I ne avvi\u00f2 la costruzione nel 1283, dopo la conquista del Galles, come roccaforte militare e insieme sede del potere reale inglese. Le torri poligonali e le mura a fasce di pietra colorata, che richiamerebbero le mura di Costantinopoli, si alzano sopra la foce del fiume Seiont sullo stretto di Menai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il castello \u00e8 strettamente legato alla monarchia britannica. Edoardo II, il primo principe di Galles inglese, nacque qui nel 1284, e nel 1969 il futuro re Carlo III fu investito principe di Galles tra le sue mura. Si possono esplorare torri, camminamenti e corpi di guardia e visitare mostre sulla storia gallese e sui principi di Galles. La Eagle Tower, coronata da tre torrette, offre ampie vedute sulla citt\u00e0, sul porto, su Anglesey e sulle montagne di Snowdonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Informazioni per i visitatori<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together with Conwy, Beaumaris and Harlech, Caernarfon forms the UNESCO World Heritage Site Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd, listed in 1986. Two of the towers house the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum, which covers more than 300 years of Wales\u2019s oldest infantry regiment and is included in the ticket. Allow two to three hours for the castle and a walk along the medieval town walls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2027 an adult ticket costs \u00a314.90, seniors over 65 pay \u00a313.40, juniors aged 5\u201317 and students \u00a310.40, and a family ticket costs \u00a347.70; children under 5 enter free, and booking online saves 5%. The castle is open from 9:30 to 17:00 between March and October (until 18:00 in July and August) and from 10:00 to 16:00 from November to February, with last admission 30 minutes before closing. It is closed on 24\u201326 December and 1 January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Il castello sorge nel centro di Caernarfon, proprio accanto al porto. La stazione ferroviaria principale pi\u00f9 vicina \u00e8 Bangor, a 16 km, con autobus frequenti per Caernarfon; la fermata \u00e8 a circa 200 metri dall\u2019ingresso. In auto la citt\u00e0 \u00e8 a breve distanza da Bangor, Anglesey e Snowdonia. Dalla stazione ai piedi del castello i treni a vapore della Welsh Highland Railway attraversano le montagne fino a Porthmadog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2
