Tenby Castle, Medieval castle ruin in Tenby, Wales
The remnants of Tenby Castle include a stone tower and sections of curtain walls positioned on Castle Hill overlooking the Pembrokeshire coastline.
Norman forces established the fortification in the 12th century, which later endured multiple attacks by Welsh princes in 1153 and 1187.
The Tenby Museum and Art Gallery operates within the former castle grounds, presenting exhibits about maritime traditions and local heritage.
The castle site maintains public access throughout the year, with a path connecting Tenby harbor to Castle Hill through the main square gateway.
During the Second English Civil War in 1648, Royalist forces withstood a siege at Tenby Castle for ten weeks before surrendering due to food shortages.
