Castell Conwy; Conwy Castle — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Conwy Castle is an Edwardian fortress of pale stone and brutal geometry, completed in 1289 to strangle Welsh resistance. It survived Madog ap Llywelyn, Owain Glyndŵr, and the English Civil War before Parliament stripped its lead and iron in 1665. The ruins still guard the river crossing where Welsh princes once kept their courts, waiting for visitors to measure the distance between royal ambition and human memory.

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Castell Conwy; Conwy Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Edward I of England built Conwy Castle in the late 13th century, around 1283–1287, as part of his campaign to subdue Wales and consolidate English control. It is important as a prime example of medieval military architecture and a key component of Edward I’s iron ring of castles designed to suppress Welsh resistance.
