Cardiff Castle has a history that spans over 2,000 years, from the Roman occupation of Britain to the Norman Conquest, through civil war turbulence, a Victorian transformation, and even the terrors of World War 2.
Cardiff Castle is proud to be different from other castles in Wales, as it has not only survived the centuries but also evolved with them in a way that few others can claim.
If you live or work in Cardiff, you are entitled to your very own Key to the Castle with FREE admission to Cardiff Castle for 3 years.
In the 1st century AD, the Romans built the first fort, followed by the Normans constructing the Keep in the 11th century. The House was worked on by the medieval Lords of Glamorgan in the 15th century, and the Bute family transformed it into a Victorian Gothic home in the 19th century.
Visitors to Cardiff Castle can explore a Gothic castle with an extravagant interior, built on the remains of Norman and Roman ruins. They can also discover a Welsh Soldier Museum, a reconstruction of World War 2 air raid shelters, and a corridor of wall sculptures.
