Dublin Castle - Ireland
Dublin Castle was built on the orders of King John in the early 13th century, and can be more correctly described as a palace. Of the original Anglo-Norman fortress built on the Viking foundations, only the Record Tower remains. The most fascinating part of the castle is underground - recent flooding in the castle prompted excavations of the former Powder Tower, which revealed a chunk of the old city walls and moat.

The site has been occupied over the ages and modified to suit its ever-changing functions. All the historic buildings have been restored and Dublin Castle is now fully integrated into Irish society. It now plays host to European Union Presidencies, Heads of State, and leaders of business, industry and government. It is also a major tourist attraction and citizens of all nations experience the varied facilities and the unique historic layers revealed throughout the complex - from the Medieval Tower to the world treasures of the Chester Beatty Library and from the Viking Defence Bank to the splendid State Apartments.

Guided tours of all parts of Dublin Castle are available or if you wish you can just wonder round outside and look at this amazing building. It’s open to tourists Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm and On Saturdays and Sundays from 2pm to 5pm.
