Carmarthen Castle is a fortress in the centre of town, overlooking the River Towy. The first recorded mention of the castle is 1094. However, it was possibly in another location, further downstream. By 1106, the castle is believed to be on its present site. The castle was turned into a prison in the 18th and 19th centuries and is now used as council offices.
