Conwy Castle is a medieval castle located in the town of Conwy, North Wales. The castle was built in the late 13th century by King Edward I of England as part of his efforts to conquer and pacify Wales.

The castle is known for its impressive fortifications, which include eight massive towers, a drawbridge, and a defensive wall that stretches over a mile long. The castle's walls are also punctuated by numerous arrow slits and battlements, which provided its defenders with a commanding view of the surrounding countryside.

Today, Conwy Castle is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Wales and is considered to be one of the finest examples of medieval military architecture in Britain. Visitors to the castle can explore its extensive grounds, including its walls, towers, and gatehouses. They can also visit the castle's museum, which showcases the history of the castle and its role in Welsh history.
