Conwy Castle is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. Built by King Edward I in the late 13th century, it features eight massive towers, a great hall, and a complete ring of town walls. Visitors can climb the spiral staircases to the battlements for views over the Conwy estuary and the surrounding mountains. The castle's history is brought to life through exhibits and the remarkably intact structure, making it a must-see for history buffs.
