Llandaff Cathedral
Llandaff Cathedral is a spiritual and architectural gem located in the historic "city within a city" of Llandaff in Cardiff. Standing on one of the oldest Christian sites in Britain, the current building features a striking blend of Romanesque, Gothic, and modern architecture. It is uniquely situated in a hollow, separated from the surrounding streets by a peaceful graveyard. A major landmark of the cathedral is the "Christ in Majesty" sculpture by Jacob Epstein, which spans the nave on an aluminum arch.
