Overview

Although occupied since the Middle Ages, Cardiff really came into its own during the Industrial Revolution as an important dock town used for the distribution of iron and coal in Wales. Since becoming the Welsh capital in 1955 and subsequently the seat of the Welsh National Assembly, Cardiff has undergone a massive transformation from a forgotten industrial port to a modern capital. Nowhere is this more evident than in the Bay Area, a massive new commercial development with striking modern architecture and modern art. Other popular attractions in Cardiff include Cardiff Castle, The National Museum and Gallery and the Millennium Stadium - the new home of Welsh Rugby Union.
