Dublin Castle, located in the heart of the city, is a historic site that has played a central role in Ireland’s history for over 800 years. The castle, which was originally built in the 13th century by the Normans, has served as a royal palace, a prison, and a government office. Today, it is open to the public as a museum and is a popular tourist attraction in Dublin. Once the centre of British rule in Ireland from 1204 to 1922, Dublin Castle is now the setting of some of the Irish Nations most important state ceremonies. The journey begins underground, where a hidden excavation reveals the 10th century viking foundations of Dublin.
One of the most striking things about Kilmainham Gaol is its architecture. The prison was built in the Georgian style, with high walls and large windows, and it is considered a fine example of this type of architecture. Visitors can take a guided tour of the prison and see the cells, the exercise yard, and the chapel, all of which have been carefully restored to their former appearance.
Steeped in ancient history and shrouded in mystery, the Newgrange Monument is a must-see marvel that beckons travelers from around the globe. Nestled in the lush landscapes of County Meath, this iconic passage tomb is best known for its stunning alignment with the winter solstice, when the rising sun illuminates its inner chamber in a breathtaking display. As you plan your Ireland travel itinerary, consider exploring not just this awe-inspiring site, but also nearby attractions like the mystical Hill of Tara and the picturesque Boyne Valley
