Icon symbolizes the location of Dublin Castle.
This impressive castle was founded by
the order of King John, the first Lord of Ireland in
1204. It is said that the castle has gone through many
rebuilding and modifications that the only thing that is
left untouched is the Norman Tower. The castle finally
saw its full completion in the early 17th century. The
famous theft of the Irish Crown Jewels took place here
in 1907. Local Irish patriots look high upon their
Dublin Castle for it is here in 6th of December 1921
that the Anglo-Irish Treaty was signed ending 700 years
of colonization. The Republic of Ireland was born here!
If you are passionate about ancient
histories and past cultures, this is the best place in
Dublin other than the local museums that you could put
your hands on. We have enjoyed ourselves here and hope
that you would too one day. Bring along your cameras and
digital cams for there are simply too many things that
you could possibly capture here.
