Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: 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.
Punti salienti: 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.
Consigli da insider
- Wear comfortable shoes as the terrain is sometimes uneven in the park and towers.
- Climbing the clock tower is worth it for the panoramic view of the city.
- Avoid visiting during peak hours, usually midday, for a better experience.
- Do not miss the video presentation on the site's history to better understand its evolution through the centuries.
