Brecon (Aberhonddu in Welsh) is a historic market town situated at the northern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Powys, Wales. The town, with roots dating back to the Norman period, developed around its 11th-century cathedral and military presence. Originally a Roman auxiliary fort, Brecon evolved into an important Welsh market town, maintaining its traditional character with Georgian and Jacobean architecture.

The town serves as a cultural hub for the region, hosting various arts events including the annual Brecon Jazz Festival, which has attracted international musicians since 1984. The Brecon Canal, built in the late 18th century, remains a significant heritage feature, offering insights into the area's industrial past. Today, Brecon functions as a gateway to the national park and maintains its status as an important administrative and cultural center for mid-Wales.
