What is recorded here

Castle Square and Swansea castle ruins is a castle, fort or tower in Swansea, Wales. Perhaps the broken stones still hold the shape of a room where people argued, loved or waited for news. Maybe the square exists because that room refused to disappear. Imagine walking past the gap and hearing the building continue inside the silence.

A named place photographed at this map point in Swansea.

Swansea Castle was originally built in the early 12th century by the de Londres family, Norman lords of Gower, and later held by the de Bohun family before being seized by the Crown. It is remembered as a strategic stronghold in the Welsh Marches and for its role in the medieval history of south Wales.
