Ianto's Shrine is a shrine dedicated to the fictional character Ianto Jones, located in Cardiff, Wales. Established after the character's death in a 2009 episode of Torchwood, the shrine is visited by fans who often leave tributes in the form of notes, photos, flowers, and memorabilia. It began as an impromptu memorial at a location used to depict the Torchwood Institute. Torchwood actors Gareth David-Lloyd and John Barrowman have visited the shrine. In March 2026, it was announced that the shrine would be removed, reportedly due to health and safety concerns.
