Cardiff is the capital city of Wales,
and has been since nineteen fifty five. The city is
full of history and character. Cardiff castle is located
in the centre of the city, and dates back to the Romans
times (around 50BC to 350AD) where a fort was built.
Then around the eleventh century,
after the Normans Invaded, it was re-constructed with
a bailey fortification
and motte. In the nineteenth century, the Bute family
used the castle as their home. They restored the
castle with medieval-style features, which can still
be seen
today.
Cardiff airport is the main International
airport in Wales, and has more than two million passengers
passing through each year. The airport is situated
about eleven miles from the city centre.
Other
Attractions:
There is a large number of shopping
arcades and major stores in the city centre, which

the oldest in the city and was built in the beginning
of the 20th century, and seats well over a thousand
people. The lesser known Sherman theatre was buil in
the nineteen seventies, and seats about five hundred
