Brief description:
Strata Florida Abbey (which means “the vale of flowers”) is a former abbey located near Pontrhydfendigaid that dates back to 1164. Although today this is ruin, many features of buildings show how impressive this place must have been during the medieval period. A beautifully carved Romanesque arch and medieval floor tiles still remain intact. Additionally, medieval graves of Welsh princes are located here.
