Cardiff Castle, located in the heart of Cardiff, Wales, is a historic site with a rich tapestry of history spanning over 2,000 years. Originally a Roman fort, it later became a Norman stronghold following the Norman conquest of England. The castle underwent significant transformation during the Victorian era under the ownership of the Marquess of Bute, who commissioned architect William Burges to create an opulent Gothic Revival masterpiece. Today, visitors can explore its beautifully decorated rooms, the impressive Norman keep, and the extensive grounds, which host various events and festivals throughout the year.
