The medieval church of Llanfair ar y Bryn stands on a small hill to the north of Llandovery, overlooking the town. The Romans had earlier established a fort and settlement on this site. The church door originally had Roman column capitals depicting the fall and loss of innocence of Adam and Eve, which are now in Carmarthen museum. They are thought to have been part of an ancient Roman Christian church that was once in the corner of the fort where Llanfair now stands. It is open to visitors during daytime and features several fine gargoyles, and also medieval momento mori within the church.
