Caerphilly Castle is a Norman fortification, located in the center of the small town of Caerphilly, in South Wales. It is the largest castle in Wales (the second largest in the United Kingdom behind Windsor Castle), and perhaps one of the largest fortresses in Europe. Built mostly between 1268 and 1271, it is one of the earliest examples of a concentric castle. It is surrounded by shallow artificial lakes, designed to slow the enemy advance and prevent subway attacks.
