Caernarfon

Town (pop., 2001: 9,611), administrative centre of Gwynedd county and county seat of the historic county of Caernarvonshire, Wales. Located near the west end of the Menai Strait, it was the site of a Roman fort, Segontium, built c. AD 75. After the Roman withdrawal (c. 380–390), it was the seat of local chieftains. The township was completely transformed by Edward I after his conquest of Wales in 1282–83. The imposing castle he built (birthplace of his son Edward II) has been preserved, and since 1911 it has been the site of the investiture of the prince of Wales.
