Monmouth, Market town in Monmouthshire, Wales.

Monmouth stands at the intersection of the Rivers Monnow and Wye, with a 13th-century gatehouse bridge marking its historical center point.

The Norman castle built in 1067 gained prominence as the birthplace location of King Henry V in 1386 and served as a defense point against Welsh incursions.

The Savoy Theatre, the oldest working theatre in Wales, presents regular performances while the town holds a free music festival each summer.

The town center contains numerous independent shops, traditional markets, and restaurants, with parking areas near the main commercial district.

Archaeological excavations revealed a Bronze Age boat building community and remains of a Neolithic dwelling dating back 5,000 years at Parc Glyndwr.
