The castle forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage site that includes several other castles built by Edward I in North Wales. Key Features: 1. Defensive Design: The castle has a massive curtain wall with eight towers and is designed to withstand both sieges and attacks. Its position, overlooking the River Conwy, made it strategically important for controlling the area. 2.
