	CastleXplorer - Caernarfon Castle

		Caernarfon Castle is shaped like an hour glass, originally divided into two wards by a cross wall at the narrowest point.
		In the latter parts of the nineteenth century the castle began to be rescued from centuries of neglect, and a new programme of repairs was undertaken at government expense.

	channel4.com - Castle
		Caernarfon Castle in Gwynedd is the mightiest and most impressive of a string of majestic castles which Edward I built after his conquest of North Wales in 1283.
		With its polygon-shaped towers and banded masonry, the castle deliberately evokes the walls of Constantinople, the capital of the eastern Roman empire, and therefore proclaims Edward as a conquering Caesar.
		The accession to the English throne in 1485 of a king of Welsh lineage, Henry VII, softened the old hostilities between England and Wales.

	Welcome to Caernarfon
		The castle's majestic persona is no architectural accident: it was designed to echo the walls of Constantinople, the imperial power of Rome and the dream castle, 'the fairest that ever man saw', of Welsh myth and legend.
		Standing at the mouth of the Seiont river, the fortress (with its unique polygonal towers, intimidating battlements and colour banded masonry) dominates the walled town also founded by Edward I. Caernarfon's symbolic status was emphasized when Edward made sure that his son, the first English Prince of Wales, was born here in 1284.
		Caernarfon's position of pre-eminence in historic rankings is recognized in its status as a World Heritage inscribed site.

	Caernarfon Castle
		Therefore as the entirety of the new settlement was of English origin, I use the anglicised "Caernarvon" as opposed to the Welsh "Caernarfon" in this article.
		Inside, the plan of Caernarfon is unusual, being shaped rather like an hour glass, originally divided into two wards by a cross wall at the narrowest point.
		The king's son, Edward of Caernarfon, was born in 1284 and henceforward the castle must have been seen as the palace of a new dynasty of princes.
