We visit Cardiff, the official capital of Wales since
1955.
Its history comes a long way ,from the Roman 's
departure, to the Norman invasion( Ruins from a fort built in 1093 still
stands in the castle grounds).
Until the 18th century Cardiff was a small town around
this fortress, but in1839 that the first dock was built and with the
advent of the coal and iron exports from the rich welsh valleys,
Cardiff became one of the busiest ports in the world.
Today, Cardiff is a modern and prosperous city
and the first major stop to a visit to Wales
