DUBLIN CASTLE 2 JULY 2022

I have noticed that some visitors from the USA are more than a little bit disappointed when they visit Dublin Castle and it is nothing like what the had imagined a castle to be.

Constructed in the early thirteenth century on the site of a Viking settlement, Dublin Castle served for centuries as the headquarters of English, and later British, administration in Ireland. In 1922, following Ireland’s independence, Dublin Castle was handed over to the new Irish government. It is now a major government complex and a key tourist attraction.
