Ely Tower, Brecon Castle

The National Monuments Record of Wales records Ely Tower, Brecon Castle as Tower 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.

Ely Tower, part of Brecon Castle, was built in the late 12th or early 13th century by the De Braose family, powerful Marcher lords in medieval Wales. The tower is important as a surviving example of early military architecture in the Welsh Marches and reflects the strategic role of Brecon Castle in controlling the surrounding region during the Norman conquest of Wales.
