Cardiff Castle is a medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion located in the city centre of Cardiff. The castle, which was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of the foundations of a 3rd-century fort, is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Wales.
Despite not being fully furnished throughout, significant effort has been made to restore the castle top its full glory, with many areas offering a close resemblance to their original appearance.
