PIERHEAD

This beautiful red brick building in Gothic style was built in 1897. It became the administrative centre of Cardiff Harbour in 1947. Since 2010, it is a venue for events and conferences open to the public. It is also a museum whose objective is to provide an understanding of the history of the country and Cardiff Bay. From the golden age of its port, linked to the export of iron ore and coal in the 19th century, through the crises of the 1920s and 1950s, to the renewal of the city undertaken since the 1980s.
