Bishop's Palace St Davids

Great — View across the courtyard to the great chapel (left) and west range of the Bishop's Palace (13th-14th centuries) in St Davids, Wales.

The west range is the oldest section of the palace, dating from the late 12th century or early 13th century. It was originally a single-story building but was modified in the 14th century when the undercrofts were inserted below and two dormitory-style chambers were created above. Holly Hayes all photos →

Standing in imposing ruins next to cathedral in St Davids, Wales, this building's grandeur even after much neglect testifies to the power and wealth of St Davids in the Middle Ages.
