St David's Cathedral
St David's Cathedral is built on the site of St David's 6th century monastery.
In 1123, Pope Calixtus II bestowed a Papal “Privilege” upon St David's, making it a centre of pilgrimage for the Western World, the Pope decreed that “Two pilgrimages to St David's is equal to one to Rome, and three pilgrimages equal to one to Jerusalem!”. In response to the need for a larger cathedral, the present building was begun in 1181 and completed soon after but much of it was badly damaged by Parliamentary forces during the Civil War.
The West Front was restored by John Nash in 1793 but as this proved unstable, the whole building was restored by George Gilbert Scott between 1862-70. Further parts of the cathedral were subject to restorations in the 20th century.

Bishop's Palace, St Davids
The imposing ruins of The Bishop's Palace stand next to St David's Cathedral in the tiny city of St Davids in Wales. The palace, as it now stands, was largely the work of Bishop Henry de Gower in the first half of the fourteenth century.
By the middle ages, unlike the frugal Saint David who founded the monastery here in the 6th century, the bishops of St David’s enjoyed all the trapping of wealth and influence. The most obvious symbol of their status was this great palace, unequalled anywhere else in Wales. The building's enduring grandeur, even after centuries of neglect, still conveys the affluence and power of the medieval church.
