Pembroke Town Wall is a medieval defensive structure enclosing the town of Pembroke in Pembrokeshire, Wales, constructed primarily during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries to protect the settlement and its important castle. The wall, which survives in substantial sections, comprises stone construction typical of medieval town defences and originally enclosed the walled town on its landward side, with the castle and water providing additional protection. The structure reflects Pembroke's significance as a defended administrative and commercial centre in medieval Wales, particularly under Norman and later English control. Today the wall remains an important archaeological monument and physical reminder of the town's medieval fortifications, with surviving sections visible within the modern town layout.
