Like most capital cities, Cardiff has an eclectic mix of architectural styles. It is famous for its arcades built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras; and there are plenty of more modern architectural examples. Not far from the station is the mundane Premier Inn with its interesting array of trapzoidal windows. By the waterfront at Cardiff Bay there is the unique Richard Rodgers designed Senedd Building . A stone’s throw away is the Millennium Centre designed by Jonathan Adams. In other words Cardiff is a great place for architectural photography!
