Cardiff is the capital of Wales, and the epicenter of political, economical, social, and cultural life in Wales. In the early 19th century, the small town of Cardiff was one of the principal ports in the British Empire, and the area around the port is now a noteworthy tourist area which is home to such buildings as the Welsh National Assembly, the Pierhead Building, and the Millennium Centre. Other noteworthy sights include the city's two grand cathedrals, Cardiff Cathedral (Roman Catholic) and Llandaff Cathedral (Anglican), the latter dating from the 12th century. Cardiff Castle was built on the site of a 3rd-century Roman fort; the castle we see today also dates from the 12th century.

The city is situated on the far eastern portion of the Gower Peninsula, the first area of the UK to be named an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
