Bird's eye view of Strata Florida Abbey
Initially founded in 1164 on a nearby site, the present buildings were erected under the patronage of the Lord Rhys (d. 1197). The Cistercians at Strata Florida were loyal supporters of the Welsh Princes. Strata Florida is the traditional burial place of Dafydd ap Gwilym, one of the great poets of medieval Wales.
