Understand
Harlech Castle was built between 1283 and 1289 by Master James of St George for the English King Edward I, the conquerer of Wales. Designed on a concentric plan with a small but powerful inner ward dominated by an impressive twin-towered gatehouse and four round corner towers, Harlech was seized by Owain Glyn Dŵr in 1404 and held successfully by him for four years.
