Golden Gallery - Swansea Maritime Quarter, Wales

<<< Welcome to Welsh Wales Web's Golden Galleries >>>

The Maritime city of Swansea is unique in the U.K. with its bayside marinas and the international award winning Maritime Quarter - a complex of yachting marinas, museums, theatre, art galleries, hotel, restaurants, ice cream parlours, bars, statues, interstellar observatory and sculptures - which command a spectacular view of Swansea's crescent shaped bay. The Maritime Quarter represents Swansea's living history - shipbuilding was established in this bay in the 13th Century, and the splendid yachting marinas and maritime facilities are a throwback to the city's lavish Victorian era at the centre of the world's copper trade.
