Carmarthen Castle
Carmarthen Castle is a medieval stone castle lying on a high terrace overlooking the River Towy in the county town of Carmarthen, West Wales. Substantial stone remains survive, most visibly a large twin drum gatehouse and stretches of curtain wall; parts of the site have been adapted over the centuries and are accessible to visitors today.

As it stood in 1195
The shape it held in its prime.
A broad stretch of high, roughly coursed grey-brown rubble curtain wall dominated by a large twin drum gatehouse at one end; the gatehouse presents two rounded towers flanking a deep arched central gateway, pierced by small slit openings and higher window apertures. The stone is uneven, medieval masonry with irregular tooling, the skyline low and crenelated by the ruined wall-tops, and the castle sits directly above the town on a raised terrace with the inner bailey set behind the gate.
