Castle History

Cardiff Castle is one of Wales’ leading heritage attractions and a site of international significance. Located at the heart of the capital, within beautiful parklands, the Castle has nearly 2,000 years of history just waiting to be explored.

CASTLE ROOMS

In the late 1800s, Cardiff Castle was transformed by the 3rd Marquess of Bute and his architect, William Burges. Their combined vision, fueled by Bute's vast wealth, resulted in the collection of fantastically extravagant interiors enjoyed by visitors today.

THE ANIMAL WALL

The Animal Wall is a well loved feature of Cardiff, comprised of fifteen animals perched atop the wall between the Castle's Clock Tower and West Gate Lodge.
