High Street, Wales SA62 6PE
Between 1328 and 1347, Henry de Gower turned a building previously only fit for ‘servants and animals’ into the immense St Davids Bishop’s Palace. A 12th-century pope had decreed that two trips to St Davids were equal to one to Rome – turning it into a centre of pilgrimage for the entire Western world. Thousands flocked to see the shrine of St David in the newly built cathedral, and the bishop needed somewhere equally special to live too. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for unexpected closures, opening times, events, and site facilities.
