Rock of Cashel

On approach to the Rock of Cashel along Rock Lane.

From Wiki, we learn this: "The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for
several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua
Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. The picturesque complex has a character of
its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be
found anywhere in Europe. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings
on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries."
