Cardigan Castle in the centre of Cardigan has been open on both Saturday and Sunday.
There has been a building on the site since at least Norman times.
Both sites need an estimated �3.5m to be restored.
Meanwhile Newbridge Institute and Memorial Hall in south Wales has been giving tours of its old cinema and stalls, and had performances by choirs and brass bands throughout the building on Sunday.
The newest of the three, it needs about �2.49m.
Voting for the three properties has now closed and the results will be announced at 2100 BST on the Restoration programme on BBC Two.
