Illustration, Tintagel Castle, Tintagel, Cornwall, England

Reconstruction of Tintagel Castle, built by Richard, 1st Earl of Cornwall in the 13th century, Tintagel Island, Cornwall, England, as it may have looked in 1240, illustration by Aaron Watson, in the museum at the castle's visitor centre. The castle had two outer wards, and an inner ward containing lodgings and a great hall. The ruined castle is linked with Arthurian Legend, as Geoffrey of Monmouth cited it as the place of conception of King Arthur in his 12th century book, History of the Kings of England. The site is managed by English Heritage. Picture by Manuel Cohen
