Conwy Castle


Is a fortified castle in the Welsh town of Conwy (Conwy County, North Wales), built between 1283 and 1287 (or 1289) to a design by military architect James of St. George (1230-1309) and by Edward's wishes I of England (1239-1307).

 

It is the first of the four fortresses built in North Wales by Edward I of England and which make up the so-called "Iron Ring", as well as one of the best preserved fortresses in North Wales and one of the most impressive medieval fortresses in Europe, inserted by Unesco - like the other castles (the castle of Caernarfon, the castle of Beaumaris and the castle of Harlech) of the "Iron Ring" - in the patrimony of humanity (since 1986).


 

Open from Monday to Sunday, from 9:30 to 17.
