Conwy's town walls are a medieval defensive structure around the town of Conwy in Wales. The walls were constructed between 1283 and 1287 after the foundation of Conwy by Edward I, and were designed to form an integrated system of defence alongside Conwy Castle. The walls are 1.3 km (0.81 mi) long and include 21 towers and three gatehouses. The project was completed using large quantities of labourers brought in from England; the cost of building the castle and walls together came to around £15,000, a huge sum for the period. The walls were slightly damaged during the rebellion of Owain Glyndŵr in 1401, but political changes in the 16th century reduced the need to maintain such defences around the town. The fortifications were treated sympathetically during the development of the road and

rdfs:comment	L'enceinte de Conwy est une muraille défensive médiévale protégeant la ville de Conwy, au pays de Galles. Édifiée entre 1283 et 1287, sous le règne d'Édouard Ier, cette enceinte mesure 1,3 km de long et comprend 21 tours et trois corps de garde. Elle subit des dégâts lors de la révolte d'Owain Glyndŵr, au début du XIVe siècle, mais son importance militaire diminue après l'avènement de la maison Tudor, d'origine galloise, sur le trône d'Angleterre, en 1485. Le développement des infrastructures de transport, au XIXe siècle, se fait dans le respect de l'enceinte, qui reste remarquablement bien conservée. Depuis 1986, elle fait partie du patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO avec d'autres fortifications édouardiennes de la région.

As muralhas foram erguidas entre 1283 e 1287 depois da fundação de Conwy por Eduardo I, e foram projetadas para formar um sistema integrado de defesa ao lado do Castelo de Conwy. As muralhas tem 1,3 km de comprimento e incluem 21 torres e três portarias. O projeto foi concluído utilizando grandes quantidades de trabalhadores trazidos da Inglaterra; o custo de construção do castelo e das muralhas juntos foi de aproximadamente £ 15.000, uma soma enorme para a época. As paredes foram ligeiramente danificadas durante a rebelião de Owain Glyndŵr em 1401, mas as mudanças políticas no século XVI reduziram a necessidade de manter tais defesas em volta da cidade.
