PIERHEAD BUILDING - Since it looks a bit like the clock tower at the Palace of Westminster, people often call it the “Welsh Big Ben.” It was originally the headquarters of the Bute Docks Company, but today it’s part of the Welsh Parliament complex. Since 2010, it’s been open to the public as a museum and is also used for events.

PIERHEAD BUILDING - The Pierhead Building is a well-known historic building in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. It was built in 1897 in a neo-Gothic style and designed by Welsh architect William Frame, who also worked on Cardiff Castle and Castell Coch. The building really stands out because of its red terracotta exterior and its location right by Cardiff Bay.
