Conwy Castle is a medieval fortification located in the walled town of Conwy, North Wales.

It was built by King Edward I of England between 1283 and 1289, as part of his campaign to conquer and pacify North Wales.

The castle is considered one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Europe, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It features eight towers, two barbicans, a great hall, and a drawbridge, and is surrounded by a moat.

The castle is open to the public and is managed by Cadw, the Welsh government’s historic environment service.
