Cardiff

Cardiff's story commences in ancient times when the Romans established a fort here known as "Venta Silurum." They were drawn by the strategic location and access to nearby minerals, setting the groundwork for Cardiff's future as a trading hub.

However, it wasn't until the 19th century that Cardiff truly burgeoned, driven by the booming coal industry. The city became the world's largest coal port, and its fortunes skyrocketed, with Cardiff Castle and opulent mansions testifying to its newfound wealth.

As the coal industry thrived, immigrants flocked to the city, making Cardiff a melting pot of cultures and traditions. The docks teemed with ships from all corners of the globe, carrying coal to power the industrial revolution.

The 20th century brought change and challenges, including the decline of the coal industry and the impact of two world wars. Yet, Cardiff adapted and reinvented itself as a vibrant capital city, home to world-class universities, culture, and the seat of the Welsh government.
