Llandaff Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Llandaff, Wales.
The cathedral stands 18 meters tall and exhibits Gothic architecture with medieval stone masonry, featuring a grand nave and intricate stained glass windows.
Built in 1170, the cathedral suffered extensive damage during World War II when a German bomb destroyed its roof, leading to major reconstruction efforts.
The cathedral maintains a musical tradition through its choir school, which includes both boys and girls performing regular services and concerts.
The cathedral opens daily for visitors, with guided tours available that explain the architectural features and religious artifacts throughout the building.
An aluminum sculpture of Christ in Majesty by Jacob Epstein hangs above the nave, installed during the post-war restoration period.
