Cardiff Royal Infirmary, Public hospital in Adamsdown, Cardiff, Wales.
The main building of Cardiff Royal Infirmary, designed by Edwin Seward, stands at an elevation of 11.9 meters in central Cardiff's Adamsdown district.
Founded in 1822 as Cardiff Dispensary, the facility became Glamorganshire and Monmouthshire Infirmary in 1837 before receiving its current name in 1923.
The hospital, known in Welsh as Ysbyty Brenhinol Caerdydd, represents the evolution of healthcare services in Wales over two centuries of operation.
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board manages the facility, which now provides GP services and specialized health clinics following its 2010s reorganization.
The hospital buildings appeared as Albion Hospital in a 2005 episode of Doctor Who television series, extending their recognition beyond medical services.
