Caerphilly Castle is a Norman castle that dominates the centre of the town of Caerphilly in south Wales.

 

It is the largest castle in Wales and the second largest in Britain after Windsor Castle. Built mainly between 1268 and 1271, it is an early example of a concentric castle.

 

The castle is now mainly a tourist attraction and includes a small shop in between its two main bridges. It is also licensed to perform wedding ceremonies - the great hall being the venue as that is able to house in excess of 100 people together with the required furniture. Fishing can also be undertaken in the north and south lakes for carp and other coarse fish.

 

Four replica siege engines are on display in the castle.
