Caerphilly Castle

This is Caerphilly Castle that is in Caerphilly one of the towns that has a missionary flat we inspect. It is the largest castle in western Europe after Windsor Castle and was built in the late 13th century. One of Henry III's most powerful barons, Gilbert de Clare built this castle. The large moat was a great defense mechanism and was an amazing structure for that time.
