Moridunum

Moridunum is a Roman archaeological site in Carmarthen with preserved stone walls, street layouts, and building foundations. The ruins spread across a large area and display the typical structure of a Roman town with residential quarters and public buildings.

The Romans established this settlement first as a military fort and later transformed it into a civilian town. This shift shows how the region became increasingly integrated into the Roman Empire over time.

The amphitheatre on this site shows how Romans and local people brought their traditions together. Archaeological finds suggest that religious practices from both cultures existed side by side here.

You can explore the archaeological remains on your own or join guided tours organized by the Carmarthenshire Museum. It helps to visit the museum first to learn more about the finds and the history of the place.

This place has remains of an early Roman temple showing how local and Roman beliefs became interwoven. The temple proves that the newcomers did not simply wipe out old traditions but merged them together.
