The Dragon is the National Emblem of Wales, and is also featured on the Welsh Flag.
There at least 60 of these Cardiff Dragon Logo Silhouette sculptures in Cardiff's main shopping area. The small abstract dragon is approx 18 inches tall, they are spaced out every 20 feet, and approx 15 feet of the ground, along both sides of Queen Street, one of the main shopping streets in Cardiff, South Wales.
The Dragon can be traced back to the Legends in The Mabinogion.
"The Mabinogion is an assembly of Welsh Stories that were taken from Two Ancient books called the 'Red Book of Hergest' and the earlier book 'The White Book of Rhydderch' . They tell the stories of people in ancient British Celtic times, some of the stories have been placed from approx 500 BC." Text Source: (

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
"The County Council of the City and County of Cardiff (Welsh: Dinas a Sir Caerdydd) is the governing body for Cardiff, one of the Principal Areas of Wales. The council consists of 75 councillors, representing 29 electoral wards. The authority is properly styled as The County Council of the City and County of Cardiff or in common use Cardiff Council.[1] No other style is sanctioned for use on Council Documents although it does occasionally appear wrongly as Cardiff County Council on documents and signage. The City & County itself is usually simply referred to as Cardiff." Text Source: (
