Llantrisant Guildhall is a magnificent new heritage and visitors' centre, telling the remarkable history of this ancient hilltop town.
It houses a plethora of unique treasures, including the solid silver Mace of 1633 which survived the Civil War and is older than the one in the House of Commons.
A full-scale exhibition of the life of cremation pioneer Dr William Price sits alongside the life-size mannequin of a Llantrisant archer who fought at the Battle of Crecy in 1346.
A wide range of interactive displays are available alongside many unique artefacts including the 18th century longcase clock made in Llantrisant and a portrait of the Llantrisant-born Lord Mayor of London Sir David Evans which has been in storage in Cardiff Mansion House for decades.
The refurbished landmark will also host a wide variety of community events, including exhibitions, conferences, weddings, activities, guest speaking programmes, concerts, private parties and school visits.
The building will be available for hire and the adjacent Castle Green will host more community-based activities, open air concerts and cinema.
