Venture further west to Carreg Cennen Castle, nestled within the breathtaking Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. Stand atop its ancient walls and imagine life in medieval times when knights roamed these lands. In Paradiso, Canto 31, witness an ethereal sight as saintly figures form a celestial rose in the empyrean sky. This poetic image captures the spiritual essence of the era with its devotion to faith and divine beauty. Cross over Monnow Bridge and Gate in Monmouthshire, Wales - an architectural gem that has stood for centuries.
