Conwy Castle

Conwy Castle is a medieval fortress in the heart of Conwy, and one of the area’s best-known landmarks.

The castle was constructed between 1283 and 1289, costing around £15,000 with the town walls included. It was built by Edward I, who also commissioned the construction of the Caernarfon and Beaumaris Castles during his conquest of Wales.

Conwy Castle is classed as a World Heritage Site, and visitors can still explore its interior and adjoining town walls. The castle has also been considered as one of the finest examples of late 13th military architecture within Europe.
