About Aberystwyth Castle

Aberystwyth Castle is a historic site. Location: Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.

From Wikipedia

Aberystwyth Castle (Welsh: Castell Aberystwyth) is a Grade I listed Edwardian fortress located in Aberystwyth, Ceredigion, Mid Wales. It was built in response to the First Welsh War in the late 13th century, replacing an earlier fortress located a mile to the south. During a national uprising by Owain Glyndŵr, the Welsh captured the castle in 1404, but it was recaptured by the English four years later. From 1637, it housed a Royal mint of Charles I, which minted coins from locally mined silver.
