The wall is pierced by four gates of Moorish aspect and is crowned by 21 towers. In its southeastern corner are the magnificent remains of Conway Castle. The walls are from 12 to 15 feet thick, with eight large towers, on four of which are turrets. There were two entrances to the castle - one by a narrow flight of steps leading to the river, and the other, the main entrance, by a drawbridge over a deep moat.
