Built by Edward I during his conquest of Wales in the late 13th century, Conwy Castle is one of the finest surviving medieval fortresses in Europe. Created as part of Edward's "Iron Ring" of castles designed to control North Wales, it was constructed alongside the walled town of Conwy and remains a powerful symbol of medieval military engineering. Visitors can climb the castle's eight enormous towers, walk the battlements and enjoy spectacular views across the mountains of Snowdonia and the Conwy Estuary. The nearby town walls provide one of the best preserved medieval town experiences in Britain. Its combination of scale, preservation and dramatic location makes Conwy one of Wales' essential historic attractions. It is also part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site covering Edward I's castles and town walls in Gwynedd.
