Rhuddlan Castle, located in North Wales, is a historic site that has played a significant role in the region's medieval history. Constructed under the directive of King Edward I of England during his conquest of Wales, the castle is an exemplary model of the concentric castle design, which was favored during Edward's reign for its formidable defensive capabilities.

The construction of Rhuddlan Castle began in 1277, following the Treaty of Aberconwy in which Llywelyn ap Gruffudd was compelled to cede control of the area to Edward I. The castle's strategic location beside the River Clwyd was chosen to secure a safe route for supply ships from the coast straight to the castle, necessitating a significant engineering project to divert the river.

Rhuddlan Castle's design features a strong twin-towered gatehouse and a series of inner and outer wards, with robust walls and defensive towers that provided comprehensive coverage against attackers. The castle's layout was innovative for its time, reflecting the latest advancements in military architecture.

Throughout its history, Rhuddlan Castle has witnessed several key events, including the issuing of the Statute of Rhuddlan in 1284, which established the English governance system in Wales. Despite its initial military and administrative importance, the castle fell into decline by the 16th century and was eventually rendered obsolete.

Today, Rhuddlan Castle stands as a ruin, managed by Cadw, the historic environment service of the Welsh Government. It remains a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors insights into medieval military architecture and the tumultuous history of Wales during the English conquests. The site is also a protected Scheduled Monument, recognized for its historical and architectural significance.
