Guildhall, Grade II* listed municipal building in Carmarthen, Wales.
Guildhall is a Grade II* listed town hall in Carmarthen featuring neoclassical architecture with three giant arched recesses at first floor level and multiple paired columns on its facade. The ground floor now operates as a restaurant and cafe.
The building was constructed between 1767 and 1777 by architect Sir Robert Taylor, replacing an earlier 16th-century guildhall that was demolished in 1766. Its design reflected enlightenment principles popular in that era.
The courtroom features traditional plaster panels and Venetian-style windows that show the importance of the judiciary in British civic life. These details reflect how the building was designed to convey authority and formality.
The building sits at the center of Carmarthen and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors can admire the exterior and explore the spaces, though much of the interior is now devoted to dining and refreshments.
Memorial plaques for the Carmarthenshire Royal Engineers are mounted within the portico, connecting military service to this municipal building. These plaques honor soldiers from the region who gave their lives.
