Built between 1283 and 1289 by Edward I, Conwy is one of the castles commissioned by the King. It took 6 years and 1,500 workers to build the fortress: a feat of 13th-century military architecture. In peacetime, 30 soldiers could protect the castle, which was built in such a way as to prevent the enemy from entering. The nobles lived in the towers, while the soldiers slept in the great hall below. The inner courtyard was accessible by water. The panoramic view from the turrets is magnificent.
