Tŵr Llywelyn a safle Neuadd Llywelyn, Conwy
Llywelyn's Tower & site of Llywelyn's Hall, Conwy

“'Twr Llywelyn' in Conwy (older than the Walls).”

Dyddiad/Date: c.1904 BMSS/23008

Plasty brenhinol o'r 13eg ganrif oedd Neuadd Llewelyn, wedi'i lleoli wrth ymyl ac wedi'i ymgorffori i dŵr ar Furiau Tref Conwy. Credir bod y neuadd gynt yn eiddo neu yn gysylltiedig â Thywysog Gwynedd ac wedi bod ynghlwm i’r Abaty Sistersaidd a oedd bryd hynny wedi ei lleoli ar y safle yn y dref.

Llewelyn's Hall was a 13th century royal mansion located next to and incorporated into a tower on Conwy's Town Walls. The hall is believed to have belonged to or been associated with the Prince of Gwynedd and may have been attached to the Cistercian Abbey that then occupied the site of the town.
