Gabalfa (, ) is a district and community in the north of the city of Cardiff, capital of Wales. It is characterised by an enormous fly over road at the Gabalfa Interchange, where the A48 road meets the A470 road (North Road) which leads from Cardiff to northern Wales, and the A469 road ( Caerphilly Road). The area is also the site of the All Nations Centre.
The name is derived from the Welsh 'Ceubalfa', which is literally translated as 'place of the boat'. It was formerly the site of a ferry crossing across the River Taff, upon which a school is now built.
The area around St. Joseph's Church near to Companies' House is known as 'the Colonies' due to the number of street names after former British colonies, such as Australia Road, Newfoundland Road and many more.
