Machynlleth, Administrative center in Powys, Wales

The town sits at the intersection of A487 and A489 roads in the Dyfi Valley, featuring a wide main street with Victorian architecture.

Machynlleth gained prominence in 1404 when Owain Glyndŵr established his Welsh Parliament here, marking a significant period in Welsh independence movements.

The Museum of Modern Art Wales, housed in a former chapel, presents contemporary Welsh art through multiple exhibition spaces and regular cultural programs.

A traditional market takes place every Wednesday on Heol Maengwyn, continuing a commercial tradition that began with a royal charter in 1291.

The Centre for Alternative Technology near the town demonstrates renewable energy systems and green building techniques through practical demonstrations and educational programs.
