Cardiff

The capital of Wales, Cardiff is the seat of the Welsh National Assembly and Wales' largest city. Cardiff is full of old buildings and historical structures, each of which is reflective of a distinct style of architecture. The 2000-year-old Cardiff Castle stands guard on a hill overlooking the city that winds its way down till the banks of the River Taff. It is here on the waterfront that the city's continual growth is most visible in the landmark Wales Millennium Centre and the ultra-modern Senedd Building. In the city center, The Hayes, a pedestrianized retail street teems with activity come the weekend. It's peppered with landmarks like the medieval St John’s Church and the contemporary Cardiff Central Library, which embody the city's eclectic spirit.
