Top 10 Monuments & Statues in Cardiff, Wales
The Welsh capital may have begun its life as a Roman fort, but it's since become a bustling city. Where the fort once stood, Cardiff Castle has held court since the 11th century. It remains a central presence in the city, now full of lively art and music venues, hip boutiques, fun bars and modern hotels. Even with so many new and exciting things to see, the National History Museum is still the most visited attraction in Wales. Don't be the only visitor who plays hooky!

Located in Cardiff city centre, the Temple of Peace first opened in 1938 and stands out as the venue with a heart. It is a Grade II listed building, is home to the Welsh Centre of International Affairs (WCIA) and is recognised as a symbol of Wales' concern for international peace: all profits generated from booking the Temple's Marble Hall go straight back into the WCIA.

These charming animals are delightful and you can't help but love them, all different but adorable. Everytime I go to Cardiff I've got to go and see them. They are part of Cardiff heritage.

So lovely to see this statue on Queen Street, honouring the politician who was instrumental in creating the NHS, and who stood for medical care being free at the point of need.

Reviewed By PebbleL - Cardiff, United Kingdom
This statue was installed in Cardiff Bay in 2009. Ivor Novello was a successful songwriter born in Cardiff, who wrote a number of songs popular during the First World War, an example being "Keep the Home Fires Burning". These days his name is kept alive by the Ivor Novello Awards for songwriting. The statue is worth a quick look if you're in the Cardiff Bay area.
