Did you know?
Conwy Castle, built in the 1280s by Edward I during the conquest of Wales, stands as one of the finest surviving examples of 13th-century Welsh fortress architecture. Its distinctive octagonal towers and substantial curtain walls guarded the River Conwy crossing for nearly 750 years. The castle witnessed pivotal moments in Welsh and English history, from medieval conflicts to the English Civil War, and today its dramatic silhouette rising from the river valley remains one of Wales's most iconic landmarks.
