Roald Dahl Plass is a public space in Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales. It is named after Cardiff-born author Roald Dahl, and is located on the coast along the south of the city centre. The square is home to the Senedd and the Wales Millennium Centre, a performing arts centre. The bowl-like shape of the space has made it a popular amphitheatre for hosting open-air concerts.Formerly named the Oval Basin and known as the Bowl, the area was one of the docks for a thriving coal port during the latter half the 19th century and much of the 20th century. Following World War II, the space entered a period of decay and dereliction until the 1980s, when the Cardiff Bay area was regenerated.The name is a nod to the writer's roots and to the Norwegian seafarers' church which stands nearby. Plass is the Norwegian cognate of the English word place; in this context the word means square in Norwegian, although the word can also mean space or place. However, in Norwegian the name of a square named after a person would correctly be written in the genitive case, in this case as Roald Dahls plass . The word plass is not capitalized in modern Norwegian.
