Croeso i Gaerdydd, Prifddinas Cymru!Welcome to Cardiff, Capital of Wales! Europe's youngest Capital City, Cardiff, is the Capital City of Wales. Founded by the Romans, influenced by the Normans, Cardiff exploded onto the world map, earning the reputation of The Coal Exporting Capital of the World.
Cardiff's Civic CentreJoin us on a drive through the green heart of Cardiff and enjoy the history, geography and architecture of this vibrant and dynamic Capital City.
Castell CochTake in the extravagence of the medieval, gothic fantasy, Castell Coch. Designed and built by the eccentric genius William Burgess and financed by his wealthy patron, the shy and scholarly Third Marquis of Bute. Caerphilly CastleWe drive to Caerphilly Castle, the second largest castle in Britain. Built in the late 13th century, the fortress is a supreme example of the concentric 'walls within walls' system of defence. Also the castle's outstanding water defences made it almost impregnable to siege warfare. Particularly noteworthy features include the gatehouse, banqueting hall and full-size working replicas of medieval siege-engines. Often threatened but, unsurprisingly, never taken, the castle's only sign of weakness is its famous leaning tower (which out-leans the tower at Pisa), possibly caused by subsidence. The Museum of Welsh LifeAn afternoon spent at St. Fagans Museum of Welsh Life. In this open-air museum you will discover how the people of Wales have lived, worked and spent their leisure time, over the last five hundred years. Cardiff Bay
