Swansea Castle is a fantastic spot. An intriguing historical monument nestled in the heart of old Swansea town. Numerous tourists wander around, snapping photos, making it a challenge to get a shot without someone in the frame. The locals are incredibly friendly, making you want to linger. It's an overall great experience. Thanks, Swansea.

An interesting historic landmark in the middle of the old town in Swansea. Many tourists walk around and take pictures so it may be a challenge to make a picture without people standing about.

It is literally in the middle of the city. It’s nice, but nothing crazy. There’s a little explanation so you can find out when and by who it was built.

I realy like the contrast of the modern building behind the historical castle remmenants.

For a defensive structure that’s almost a thousand years old, it’s reasonably well-preserved. As per the signs outside, this is not the original castle or the remnants of one, it was intact re-constructed over a 100 years later - the original castle no longer exists. Personally, I’m not sure when the grills in the window openings were fitted. While they may look old but are they actually a 1000 years old? I seriously doubt it. As this is open to the public, there are no tickets at all, one can walk in anytime and admire the “defensive” structure. Located in Castle Square, it’s adjacent to Wine Street, a street frequented by pub-goers. There are pubs and restaurants all around, including McDonald’s. Try visiting this structure in the evenings when there are fewer cars on the road.
