Cardiff Castle
With a National Art Pass you get
Cardiff Castle is one of Wales's greatest heritage sites, a medieval fortress and Gothic Revival mansion boasting almost 2,000 years of history.
Archaeological surveys suggest that the Cardiff Castle site was first used by Roman legions as early as AD54, following the defeat of the Silures. Around AD1100 the Normans appropriated the site for the construction of a stronghold, and more recently Lord Bute - Britain's richest man in 1868 - commissioned architect William Burges to transform the castle into a Neo-Gothic palace.
