Its location makes the Capitol useful at the station end of the shopping district. The building also records a shift in Cardiff’s leisure landscape: it occupies the former Capitol Theatre site, and its original design borrowed from the city’s Victorian arcades rather than adopting a wholly separate shopping-centre style.
What to look for
The centre occupies the site of the former Capitol Theatre.
Parts of the exterior retain the original arcade-inspired design.
Useful to know
