Cardiff City Hall, clock tower and coat of arms
The coat of arms of the City of Cardiff on the base of an obelisk outside the City Hall (where the local city government is based). The motto Y ddraig goch ddyry cychwyn translates as "The Red Dragon will lead the way". The Red Dragon (the emblem of Wales) holding a flag on the shield in the centre is also the city flag. The building is an important early example of Edwardian Baroque architecture and and opened in 1906. The clock tower, a notable local landmark, is 59m /194 ft high.
