With over a hundred current castles,
Wales is rightfully known as the ‘Land of Castles.’ Located on
the North coast of Wales, the Conwy Castle is another one of Edward
I’s chain of beautiful castles in his fortification of Wales. Made
out of limestone and sandstone, today this castle lies in sublime and
picturesque ruins. Built between 1283-89 this Conwy Castle has seen
many wars including the Revolt of Madog ap Llywelyn and the
Revolt of Owain Glyndŵr. This enticing Castle has been
considered as one of the best architectural works of Edward I. The
interior is a maze of great halls, chapels, and royal chambers that
evoke a sense of awe in the tourists.
