카나번(Caenarfon)은 웨일즈에서 3번째로 많이 갔던 도시이다.

교환학생을 하며, 한국-웨일즈 합작 다큐멘터리 번역 아르바이트를 했다.

순전히 지인 소개로 운이 좋게 되었고, 페이도 정말 좋았다.

덕분에 그 자금으로 유럽 곳곳을 여행할 수 있었다.

잉글랜드의 에드워드 1세가 석조양식으로 바꾸기 전까지 '모트 앤 베일리 성'이었다.

에드워드 1세는 카나번 성을 웨일즈 지배의 기점으로 삼고 행정도시로 탈바꿈하고자 했다.

물론 이에 대한 웨일즈의 저항과 반격도 심해, 수많은 내전이 일어났다.

결국 잉글랜드가 점령하였고, 이후 영국내전 (English Civil War)까지 겪으면서 성곽은 많이 훼손되었다.

그 후 1911년부터 수리에 대한 논의를 시작하였고, 1969년 웨일즈 찰스황태자 임관식 장소가 이루어졌다.^[각주:1]

카나번 성보다 좋았던 것은, 해안 산책로였다. 

여유로웠고 수평선이 보이는 저 너머에는 대항해시대를 꿈꾸는 다른 이가 있을 것 같았다.

해안가를 접하고 있는 북웨일즈의 대부분 도시가 그러하듯, 이방인은 드물었고 거리는 조용했다.

카나번은 웨일즈에서 멋진 일몰을 볼 수 있는 곳이기도 하다. 

산 너머로 사라지는 강렬한 하루를 조용히 감상할 수 있다.

따뜻한 오렌지 빛 에너지는 모두를 적셔주고, 온기를 나눠준다.

1. Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon), often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle, is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby. While the castle was under construction, town walls were built around Caernarfon. The work cost between £20,000 and £25,000 from the start until the end of work in 1330. Despite Caernarfon Castle's external appearance of being mostly complete, the interior buildings no longer survive and many of the building plans were never finished. The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English. Caernarfon was recaptured the following year. During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400–1415, the castle was besieged. When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485, tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important. As a result, Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Despite its dilapidated condition, during the English Civil War Caernarfon Castle was held by Royalists, and was besieged three times by Parliamentarian forces. This was the last time the castle was used in war. Caernarfon Castle was neglected until the 19th century when the state funded repairs. In 1911, Caernarfon Castle was used for the investiture of the Prince of Wales, and again in 1969. It is part of the World Heritage Site "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd". -Wikepedia [본문으로]
