Cardiff's City Centre

Cardiff, the capital of Wales, is located at the mouth of the River Taff, on the Bristol Channel. At one time among the world's largest coal-exporting ports, Cardiff remains an important industrial, commercial, and government centre in Wales. Cathays Park, at the heart of the city, is bounded by a fine set of civic buildings, mostly built at the beginning of the 20th century. These include the city hall, the law courts, the Welsh National Museum, and Cardiff University.
