  Encyclopedia: Wales
The capital of Wales since 1955 has been Cardiff, although Caernarfon is the location where the Prince of Wales is invested, and Machynlleth was the home of a parliament called by Owain Glyndwr during his revolt at the start of the fifteenth century.
Caernarfon, 2002 Caernarfon (the Welsh spelling is now normally used in preference over the Anglicised form, Caernarvon or Carnarvon) is a Royal Town in Gwynedd in north-west Wales.
The Prince is, however, still symbolically linked to the principality; the investiture of Charles, Prince of Wales took place at Caernarfon Castle in North Wales, a place traditionally associated with the creation of the title in the 13th century.

Though Alexandra Head (Cardiff Bay) was placed 10th, we asked for it to be given detailed analysis because of NMGWs long association with Cardiff Bay and because it was the most realistic of the Cardiff Bay sites.
Caernarfon is not rated as importantly as Cardiff, but its maritime tradition is very old and associated with considerably more than only slate—although its industrial history is largely limited to slate and engineering, neither of which matches coal in importance.
Caernarfon scores less well, but would be assisted by NMGW's Welsh Slate Museum (in Llanberis), by the general heritage interest of Caernarfon and its hinterland, and by Gwynedd Education Service's activities.
