Introduction

Conwy Castle, located on the northern coast of Wales, was built between 1283 and 1289 and is one of the great building projects of Edward I during his second campaign in North Wales. As many as 1,500 craftsmen and laborers were involved in its construction, and its designer James was hailed by the Welsh royal family as a master builder. Conwy Castle represents the characteristics and historical value of European military architecture from the 13th to the 14th century and is therefore listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Today, Conwy Castle has become one of the famous tourist attractions in North Wales, attracting many visitors to visit and appreciate the grandeur of this castle.
