VI WALES CARDIFF JUNE 2013 INSIDE CASTLE
The Arib room inside Cardiff Castle
The Arab Room in the Herbert Tower remains however one of Burges's masterpieces. Its jelly mould ceiling in a Moorish style is particularly notable. It was this room on which Burges was working when he died and Bute placed Burges's initials, and his own, and the date 1881 in the fireplace as a memorial.[101] The central portion of the castle also included the Grand Staircase, recorded in a watercolour perspective prepared by Axel Haig.[102]
