  Cardiff Castle
However, in the midst of this urbanization, Cardiff's ancient past is grandly displayed, in the form of a fine castle.
In the 1270's, when Wales was unified under the leadership of the charismatic Welshman, Llywelyn ap Gruffydd (the Last), Gilbert de Clare refortified the castle in anticipation of further Welsh rebellion.
Cardiff Castle was a prize sought by both sides of the struggle, the Royalists and Parliamentary forces, but it was eventually taken by Oliver Cromwell's army.

The new civic buildings may well have glinted in the distance as the small group of men explored the overgrown remains, 800 feet up on Llanishen Rock.
John Ward, an early archaeologist from the Cardiff Museum, was the leader.
All things considered though, he is ready to venture that Castell Morgraig was built by the Anglo-Norman de Clare lords of Glamorgan, sometime after 1243 and before 1267, when it was abandoned unfinished as the de Clares defeated the last Welsh native lord in the area and started building Caerphilly nearby.

 CNN/SI - Rugby Union - Australian center says he belongs in Wales - Wednesday September 08, 1999 08:46 AM
The ARU had earlier declared Jones-Hughes ineligible for Wales because he played for the Australian Barbarians, effectively Australia A, against Scotland last year, and at a meeting in July the IRB agreed with that interpretation.
The ARU warned the game's history may have to be re-written in light of the decision, which said the Scotland team was neither a national nor an "A" side, but a collection of players drawn from the touring party.
NSW has an option on his contract for another year, while Cardiff is believed to want the powerful center to play for them.
