Description
Wales' rich castle heritage spans centuries, from medieval conflicts to legends and enduring historical significance. In 1277, a treaty was signed that would change the fate of both nations, leading to the construction of some of Europe's most recognizable fortresses. Castles have long been a part of Wales' landscape, with many existing before the Norman Conquest. While some were built for protection, others served as palaces and were chosen as sites for future castles. The story of these structures is complex, with many dating back to Roman times or being modern constructions that now stand as cherished family homes or museums. This book explores the stories behind Wales' castles, shedding light on their history and the mysteries within their walls.
