What is recorded here

Conwy Castle and Conwy Estuary is a castle, fort or tower in Conwy, Wales. Perhaps its stones still hold the pressure of hands that built them against the sea. Maybe the estuary breathes through the chamber floors at every tide. Imagine a guard standing inside the wall, listening for water moving through rock nobody remembers cutting.

Built by Edward I of England in the late 13th century, Conwy Castle was part of his campaign to subdue Wales and control the region following the conquest. It is important as a key example of medieval military architecture and as a symbol of English dominance in Wales.
