The Romans built a fort here about 2,000 years ago. The Normans, the next great builders, added the Keep and other structures. In 1866, the Victorian architect William Burgess was hired by Lord Bute to add some more modern amenities, mostly inside. In 1947, the Bute family turned over the castle to the city.

The Tube, as it's commonly called, serves as the visitor centre for Cardiff's harbour. During my visit in 1999, the harbour was undergoing extensive renovation. I'm sure it's a whole different place today.

Long a church for sailors, the old Norwegian Church at Cardiff's harbour is now an art gallery, with a small coffee shop and special events. Built in 1868, on land donated by the Marquess of Bute, this is Britain's oldest surviving church built by the Norwegian Seamen’s Mission. It served not only as a place of worship but also as a social gathering spot for Scandinavian sailors.

Cardiff has a lively, bustling city centre. The streets are pedestrian-friendly, and lined with nice shops, pubs, restaurants, and some of the finest Victorian architecture in Wales.
