ILLUMINATA 2011 -9TH. ---11TH. DECEMBER
As darkness falls, CAERPHILLY Castle will be bathed in light for a twice nightly sound and light show. Illuminata, which is supported by the £19m European funded Heritage Tourism Project, backed by £8.5million from the European Regional Development Fund, reflects the fascinating history of this iconic stronghold.
Caerphilly’s Illuminata story begins in 1268 with the construction of the castle .
Projected onto the castle walls of the Inner Wards, four eras in Caerphilly's long history will be displayed from Gilbert de Clare to Llywelyn Bren, when much of the castle was destroyed, through to Hugh Despenser and Edward II and the grisly end of an English king, before moving on to the ravages of the Civil War and the castle's subsequent restoration by Coal Baron, the Marques of Bute.
The Welsh Dragon (Welsh: Y Ddraig Goch "the red dragon", appears on the national flag of Wales (the flag itself is also called "Y Ddraig Goch").
The oldest recorded use of the dragon to symbolise Wales is from the Historia Brittonum, written around 820, but it is popularly supposed to have been the battle standard of King Arthur and other ancient Celtic leaders
