Caerphilly castle bronze sculpture
This is a bronze sculpture of Caerphilly castle outside the walls of the building to encourage to go in and take a tour.
The public art project is part of Cadw, the Welsh Assembly Government's historic environment service, ongoing programme to improve interpretation and around monuments in state care.
Commissioned by Caerphilly County Borough Council in partnership with Cadw, the three foot square sculpture is a 1:500 scale model of Wale's largest castle. The sculpture has been cast in bronze by M.B Finearts Foundry and is now located outside the castle walls as a way of informing visitors and locals alike of what lies behind the walls of the castle.
Various artefacts, such as Gilbert de Clare and Llywelyn parchments, with relevant seals, medieval masons' tools and drawing equipment are also included as a part of this model to further inform visitors of the history of the castle.
Glynneath artist Rubin Eynon was commissioned by Urban Renewal, to create the public art after completing other bronze works of art in the area including a bronze sculpture in Blackwood town centre, a bronze wall panel in Cross Keys and a new sculpture for the Winding House museum in New Tredegar.
