Conwy Castle, which was built at the orders of Edward I, is a masterpiece of medieval architecture. An estimated 2,000 workmen were needed for the construction of this imposing fortress, which dates from 1283-89. In 1290 Edward was besieged here by the Welsh, but was finally relieved. The castle, with its 12-15ft/3.5-4.5m thick walls and eight towers, also played an important part in later history. The Great Hall, 125ft/38m long, is now roofless, but one of the eight arches which supported the roof has been rebuilt to show the original beauty of the structure. The King's Tower contains a very beautiful oratory.
Conwy Castle is considered one of Wales' most picturesque castles. It features an exhibition on Edward I and
