Caerphilly Castle attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Caerphilly Castle is located in the town center and is one of the largest castles in Wales and the UK, second only to Windsor Castle. Unlike many other castles in Wales, Caerphilly Castle was not built during the period of Edward I's rule in Wales, but was constructed by a descendant of a Norman nobleman.
The castle is surrounded by water, and one of its leaning towers is similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, making it a very striking feature. In recent years, Caerphilly Castle has also become a popular filming location for various movies and TV shows, including the hit BBC series "Merlin".
