Home to approximately 365,000 residents, Cardiff stands as Wales' largest city and vibrant capital.

The city continues to evolve with major infrastructure projects transforming its landscape.

With roots stretching back to Roman times, Cardiff's transformation from a small town to major coal-exporting port in the 19th century shaped its identity.
