Cardiff Castle

Welcome to Cardiff Castle!

The castle itself is a medieval castle, built on the site of a Roman fort, with a Norman keep inside and some Victorian mansions thrown in, just for good measure.

Above you can see the remains of the Roman wall built into the castle wall. Anything below the red brick line is Roman, while everything above is medieval.

Here you can see what remains of the Norman keep on the mound. It was built in 1091.

You can see the remains of graffiti inside the keep as well. Graffiti took more effort back then.

Here is a panorama of the inside of the keep.

This is the ceiling inside the Arab room of the Victorian mansion. It's even more impressive in person.

The inside of much of the mansion was built in medieval-style. It's horrible overdone, but very impressive none the less.

You can also walk along the perimeter of the castle, which, by the way, is HUGE!
