Cardiff (or Caerdydd in Welsh) is the capital and largest city of Wales.

Archaeological evidence from sites in and around Cardiff show that people had settled in the area by at least around 6000 BC, during the early Neolithic period. Until the Roman conquest of Britain, Cardiff was part of the territory of the Silures – a Celtic British tribe that flourished in the Iron Age – whose territory included the areas that would become known as Breconshire, Monmouthshire and Glamorgan.

The Romans established a 3.2 ha (8-acre) fort near the mouth of the River Taff in AD 75, building over an extensive settlement that had been established by them in the 50s AD. This would later become the north-western boundary of the centre of Cardiff. The 3rd-Century Roman fort was later replaced by a motte and bailey castle, built in the late 11th century by Norman Invaders. This would become Cardiff Castle.

It is from this fort that Cardiff would take its name from. From Caerdydd (earlier Caerdyf) meaning ‘Fort on the River Taff’, stemming from the Brythonic words for ‘fort’ (Caer) and the River Taff (Dyf).

Cardiff remained a small town until the early 19th century, when coalmining its prominence as a port for coal helped its expansion. In 1905 it was ranked as a city and in 1955 proclaimed capital of Wales.

Cardiff is home to four major institutions of higher education: Cardiff UniversityCardiff Metropolitan UniversityUniversity of South Wales and the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama. Cardiff is the main commercial centre of Wales as well as the base for the Senedd (the Welsh Parliament). Cardiff Bay contains the Senedd building and the Wales Millennium Centre arts complex. Work continues at Cardiff Bay and in the centre, on projects such as Cardiff International Sports Village, BBC drama village, and a new business district.
