The National Library of Wales stands above Aberystwyth on Penglais Hill and is one of the great cultural institutions of Wales. Established by royal charter in 1907 and opened on its current site in 1916, it safeguards books, manuscripts, maps, archives, artworks, sound, film, and photographs relating to Wales and beyond.
Visitors can explore exhibitions, use the Reading Room, visit the shop and cafe, and enjoy the view back toward Cardigan Bay. For family history, Welsh culture, art, literature, and national memory, it is one of Aberystwyth's most important destinations.
