Constructed in the 13th century, Conwy Town Walls were part of Edward I’s “iron ring” of castles, designed to consolidate his control over North Wales. Stretching for less than a mile (about 1.3 kilometers), these walls feature 21 towers and three original gatehouses. The fortifications remain largely undamaged, providing a well-preserved example of medieval military architecture. Visitors can walk along the walls, taking in the historic layout and panoramic views of the town and surrounding countryside.
