Amphitheatre Moridunum
Image: © Marion Phillips Taken: 24 Apr 2008
Carmarthen was an important town in Roman times and the Romans built this amphitheatre for the purpose of holding gladiatorial shows and displays of wild beasts. Only part of the site is visible here because trees and bushes have been allowed to encroach on the far side. The local authority keeps the grass mown but does not provide any information for visitors.
