Warwick Castle is a Norman fortress founded in 1068 by William the Conqueror following his invasion of England, commanding a strategic position on a bend of the River Avon in Warwickshire. The castle retains substantial medieval defensive structures, including its impressive motte-and-bailey earthworks and later stone fortifications constructed from the 12th century onwards, with the distinctive Guy's Tower and Caesar's Tower forming prominent features of its medieval architecture. The site represents continuous military occupation and development across several centuries, with significant additions made during the 14th and 15th centuries when the castle underwent substantial reconstruction. Though now primarily maintained as a heritage attraction, the physical fabric of the castle remains an important example of Norman military architecture and subsequent medieval fortification development in the English Midlands.
