Caerphilly Castle in south Wales is the second largest castle in Britain (second to Windsor castle) and it is one of the largest fortresses in Europe. The 13th Century buildings are situated in large-scale man-made lakes. It is also the first truly concentric castles in Britain. It was virtually impregnable against contemporary siege methods and the castle itself was never taken.
Notice the tower on the right. It leans more than the Tower of Pisa! One side of the tower is completely unsupported. I really don't know why it is still standing!
