O atrakcí
Rychlá fakta: A fortified castle in the heart of the Welsh capital, it combines Roman remains with medieval and Victorian additions. You can still admire its sturdy walls as well as its luxurious rooms decorated in a flamboyant Gothic style.
Zajímavosti: The clock tower decorated by the artist William Burges features an interior rich in mythological references, including a fresco depicting the goddess Astarte. The secret underground passage reveals tunnels used to escape invasions and connect different parts of the castle.
