Caerphilly Castle One Of The Great Medieval Castles Of ...

Go to: http://www.aberystwyth-online.co.uk

One of the largest medieval fortresses in Britain certainly Wales. The immense size of this castle covering (1.2 hectares), makes it the largest in Britain after Windsor. Begun in 1268 by the Anglo-Norman marcher lord, Gilbert de Clare. Concentrically planned, the rings of stone and water defences are formidable.

The Castle is famous for its 'leaning tower', standing at 15 metres high and leaning 10 degrees out of true vertical, after being blowen up in the Civil War. The impressive Great Hall is now used for various functions and weddings.

@grandtheftauto4123 there are no castle's in canada and there is one very small keep type castle on the east coast of america. but most people would class them as house's.

@doctorwho1360 if you include it''s outer walls, it's the second biggest in the world. the outher walls were stolen and used on such buildings as "van mansion" and the various terrace house's.

@grandtheftauto4123 it's the third biggest in the world. also you must take into fact that 100 year's ago it was in ruin.
