Llandaff Cathedral
The Cathedral Green, Llandaff, CF5 2YF
Llandaff Cathedral once again took it all in stride; its whole history is one of destruction and reconstruction, of tragedy and triumph.
The cathedral is built in a hollow on a site that was probably the scene of ancient Celtic worship, for Romano-British burials have been found here. The first Christian edifice to occupy the site may have been founded in 560 by St. Teilo, Bishop of South Wales who died around 580. Teilo built his church where a small Christian community, founded by Dyfrig, existed a generation earlier.
