Following the Norman invasion , a garrison town was built at Tenby , complete with

Attacks on the town by the native Welsh in 1187 and 1260 , resulted in the building
of the town walls by William De Valence, Earl of Pembroke.

with 2 arches and access into the Town.
"Belts Arch" was made in this D shaped Tower in 1784 , on South Parade.
There are 2 Square towers as well in the town wall.
