Cardiff Castle is a well known Norman castle consisting of an impressive motte within a wet ditch sited within the walls and earthworks of a Roman fort. Much of the castle has been restored in the 19th century by the Marquess of Bute, who also built a gothic mansion on one side. The castle is clearly visible in the city centre, and is open to the public as a tourist attraction for a fee.
