Cardiff Castle 6.39

In the heart of the capital city is Cardiff Castle, a truly remarkable site with a history that spans over 2000 years. Roman soldiers slept here, noble knights held court here, and The Bute family, with extraordinary wealth and vision, transformed the Castle into a romantic Victorian fantasy. ‘Eccentric genius’ architect William Burges was given free rein to create the lavish and opulent interiors; each breathtaking room rich with murals, stained glass, gilding and superb craftsmanship.
