Step Into the Land of Castles: the Most Beautiful Welsh Castles

08/30/2021

Wales is a country full of history and culture. And nothing is a bigger testament to that than its castles! At some point, there were 600 castles in Wales (not for nothing it's named the 'castle capital of the world' or the 'land of castles'). Even though there are around 100 Welsh castles standing today, there's still plenty to see and learn from them. 

If you want to step into a world of fairytales and medieval history, in this post, Brit Olom Tours, Inc. in Miami, FL, will share the castles you absolutely shouldn't miss during your visit to Wales. 

Welsh Castles You Should Visit 

Conwy Castle 

In the north of Wales, you'll find the world-famous Conwy Castle. Dating back to the 13th Century, this castle is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized by its defensive architecture and importance in medieval history. 

Cardiff Castle 

The Welsh capital, Cardiff, is lucky to have Cardiff Castle. Not only is this 11th-century masterpiece a must-see tourist spot because of its architecture and history, but it's also the house to the Firing Line: Cardiff Castle Museum of the Welsh Soldier. 

Harlech Castle 

Harlech Castle rises above a gorgeous, natural Welsh scenery. As one of King Edward I's castles, Harlech also holds the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site as "the finest examples of late 13th century and early 14th-century military architecture in Europe." 

Raglan Castle 

If you head into the southeast of Wales, you'll come across Raglan Castle. It was built in the 14th century to show the strength and power of the kingdom. And, with its stunning walls and tall towers, you can definitely get that sense. 

Caernarfon Castle 

Last but definitely not least, there's the medieval fortress known as Caernarfon Castle. As another of King Edward I of England's castles, it's also regarded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Nowadays, the castle holds the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum and is a major tourist attraction.
