Cardiff castle
Robert Fitzhamon built Cardiff castle. Cardiff Castle is one of Wales' leading heritage
attractions and a site of international significance. During 2000 years of history, the Castle has
been a Roman Garrison, a Norman stronghold and in Victorian times was transformed into a
gothic fairytale fantasy.
St Fagans
St Fagans is an area in the west of the city of Cardiff, capital of Wales. To the south lies the
village of Michaelston-super-Ely, and to the east the suburb of Fairwater. St Fagans lies on the
River Ely, and previously had a railway station on the South Wales Main Line, and currently
there is a level crossing. St. Fagans is home to St. Fagans Cricket Club. It is home to St
Fagans National History Museum (formerly called the Museum of Welsh Life), St Fagan
Castle, St Fagans Old Rectory and St Mary's Church. In 1648, the Battle of St Fagans took
place close by.
