Why this matters
Cardiff Castle was originally built by the Normans in the 11th century and significantly expanded by the Bishops of Llandaff and later the Marquesses of Bute. It is important as a key historical and architectural landmark in Cardiff, reflecting over 900 years of military, religious, and civic history in South Wales.
