The other day I told you a little bit about the cardiff history and what places to visit in this beautiful city of Welsh, surrounded by an incredible natural environment. In this wonderful environment you find spectacular monuments such as Cardiff Castle, a place full of mysteries and full of history that is one of the preferred destinations for anyone who likes architecture tourism and, above all, who likes to visit castles and ancient fortresses of other cultures.
The Cardiff Castle It is in the heart of Cardiff, and thanks to the occupation of noble families and its Norman past, it has become one of the most important in the country. Its architecture is spectacular, as well as being the perfect example of the classic Norman buildings. In 200 years of history it has counted among its tenants such illustrious characters as the duke of normandy, who was imprisoned within its walls by order of King Henry I of England, who was also his brother.
Throughout its history it has been the scene of multiple battles, until it was finally reconquered by the Welsh in 1404 and passed into the hands of the First Duke of Bedford. Thanks to its exciting history, it has become one of the most visited places by tourists, as well as being an important place where all kinds of events such as concerts, conferences, workshops, talks and many other activities are held in Cardiff. .
In 2008 an Interpretation Center was opened where you can watch a movie that tells you the whole history of the castle and all its secret corners, rooms and hiding places. An essential visit if you are going to be in wales, you will not only know the history of this place but you will also discover a landscape full of magic and pure nature.
