Take a tour of Caernarfon Castle in Wales, United Kingdom – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.

The Caernarfon Castle is one of the finest and costliest castles of Edward I.

Apart from being a World Heritage Inscribed Site, this castle is also the birth place of the first English Prince of Wales.

The majestic polygonal towers are emblematic of Edward's military stronghold and the seat of the Royal Palace and Government.

The 1969 inauguration ceremony of Prince Charles as Prince of Wales added to its grandeur.

The novelty of the castle's architecture lies in its angular edges rather than the usual rounded ones.

A museum was installed in the castle to honor the oldest military regiment of Wales, the Royal Welsh Fusiliers.

Situated on the North Welsh coast of the river Seiont, this strategically placed castle grants rapid access to the western coast.
