Cardiff Castle - part 1
In the center of Cardiff, lies a castle. Instead of a city moving away from history, Cardiff today still revolves around the former center.
From the website, "The Roman fort at Cardiff was probably established at the end of the
50s AD, on a strategic site that afforded easy access to the sea.
Archaeological excavations made during the 1970s indicate that this was
only the first of four forts, each a different size, that occupied the
present site. After the Norman conquest, the Castle’s keep was built, re-using
the site of the Roman fort. The site was divided into inner and outer
wards, separated by a huge stone wall." cardiffcastle.com
You can walk on the top of the walls. This above photo is not of the castle but a church down the road. Below, part of the museum complex.
New and old together.
Stained glass added to the main Victorian era building.
It is hard to get good photos of stained glass but you did. I don't see any orbs yet.
