A fortified town dating back to Roman times, located on the right bank of the Seiont river, facing the sea. The town center is full of charm, with its 14th-century ramparts. It's a pleasure to stroll through the narrow intramural streets, at the foot of the impressive Caernarfon Castle, one of the largest medieval castles in the world. It was in this bastion of Welsh nationalism that King Charles III was invested as Prince of Wales in 1969, an investiture that symbolizes British imperialism. Paradoxically, it is in this city that the Welsh nationalist party, Plaid Cymru, has its strongest supporters.
