Swansea Castle

Only a small pocket of the central city around Wind St and Castle Sq escaped WWII bombing raids and retains a remnant of Georgian and Victorian Swansea, along with the ruins of this 14th-century castle, mostly destroyed by Cromwell in 1647 and later the site of the offices of the South Wales Daily Post when Dylan Thomas worked for the paper in the 1930s.
