Portmeirion is a resort village on the Welsh coast in Snowdonia.
It was designed and built by architect Sir Brian Clough Williams-Ellis.
The village is a composite of Italian baroque, William Morris Arts and Crafts, and more unusual features.
It was opened in 1926 as a tourist attraction and later as a pottery center.
The village is best known as the setting for the 1960s TV series "The Prisoner", featuring John McGoohan as a British spy undergoing mind alterations, incarceration, disorientation and general weirdness.
