Wales’ ancient history and rich cultural heritage
Wales boasts a rich cultural history shaped by its Celtic roots, medieval fortifications, and industrial legacy. When the Romans left, a distinct Welsh culture emerged – marked by powerful warring kingdoms. This long and turbulent history is reflected in the construction of over 600 castles, including UNESCO sites like Caernarfon and Conwy. The Industrial Revolution later transformed Wales into a coal and slate powerhouse. Today, the Welsh language and culture continue to celebrate this proud and ancient heritage.
