What is recorded here

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Carmarthen Castle as Castle from the Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Carmarthen Castle was built by the Normans in the 12th century, with significant rebuilding under Roger de Montgomerie, 2nd Earl of Shrewsbury. It is important as a key medieval stronghold in the struggle between the Welsh and the English during the Middle Ages.
