What is recorded here
Cardiff Castle Walls and Clock Tower is a castle, fort or tower in Cardiff, Wales. Perhaps the walls held breath while the clock tower marked hours for people who no longer remember their names. Maybe the stone still warm from human hands, waiting for someone to touch it and remember why it was built.

Built by the Normans in the 11th century and significantly expanded by the Bute family in the 19th century, Cardiff Castle is important as a symbol of the city's medieval and industrial heritage. Its Clock Tower, added in the 1870s, is a notable example of Victorian Gothic Revival architecture.
