Kidwelly Castle
Dinefwr Castle

Wales is believed to have more castles per square mile than any other country in the world.

Caerphilly Castle is the largest castle in Wales and the second largest in Europe.
Chepstow Castle is Britain's oldest surviving castle made of stone. Its construction began in 1067.

Beaumaris Castle on Anglesey is generally considered the finest example of a concentric castle in Europe. It has been a World Heritage site since 1986.

The ruined Flint Castle is the only British castle with two donjons. It is famous for having the thickest walls (7 m / 23 ft) of any other castle.

Powis Castle possesses Britain's oldest, and one of the last, true formal baroque gardens and is the most visited National Trust property in Wales.

The castles and town walls of Caernarfon and Conwy, and the castles of Harlech and Beaumaris were granted World Heritage Status in 1986. They were chosen as they were considered to be among the 'finest examples of late 13th-century and early 14th-century military architecture in Europe'.

Ruthin Castle was the first castle attacked by Owain Glyndwr during his uprising against the rule of Henty IV of England in 1400.
