Caernarfon historically formed part of the parish of Llanbeblig, named after Saint Peblig, the son of [[Saint Elen]] and Macsen Wledig ([[Magnus Maximus]]). St Peblig's Church stands {{convert|0.6|miles|km}} south-east of the walled town. It is built on an important early Christian site, itself built on a Roman [[Mithraeum]] or temple of [[Mithras]]. This was located close to the [[Segontium]] Roman Fort which lies {{convert|200|metres|abbr=off}} away. A Roman altar was found in one of the walls of the church during 19th-century restoration work. The present church dates mainly from the 14th century and is built to a [[Cruciform#Cruciform architectural plan|Cruciform architectural plan]]. A major restoration was undertaken in 1894.<ref>Haslam, Richard, Orbach, Julian, Voelcker, Adam, 2009, Gwynedd, The Buildings of Wales, [[Yale University Press]], {{ISBN|978-0-300-14169-6}}, pages, 281–285</ref> St Peblig's is a Grade I [[listed building]].<ref>{{Cadw|num=3881|desc=Church of St Peblig, Caernarfon|grade=I|access-date=8 September 2024}}</ref>

===St Mary's===
St Mary's Church was begun in 1307 as a chapel for the castle and garrison. It is built against the town wall, the Bell Tower acting as a [[vestry]]. The church was restored by [[Benjamin Dean Wyatt]] in 1811-1814. The exterior mainly reflects Wyatt's work, except its north and west walls which are "Master James of St George's massive limestone masonry of 1284-1290", but the arcades in the nave, and other internal elements, are medieval.<ref>Haslam, Richard, Orbach, Julian, Voelcker, Adam, 2009, Gwynedd, The Buildings of Wales, [[Yale University Press]], {{ISBN|978-0-300-14169-6}}, pages, 285–286</ref> The church is a Grade I [[listed building]].<ref>{{Cadw|num=3587|desc=Church of St Mary, Caernarfon|grade=I|access-date=8 September 2024}}</ref>
