Ireland is known for their beautiful castles, and this was my favorite out of all that I visited. When I visited Rock of Cashel, it was a gloomy, rainy day, but it was still absolutely breathtaking.
Rock of Cashel is the finest, most complete and probably one of the earliest Romanesque churches in Ireland. Cormac Mac Cárthaigh, king of Desmond began the building in 1127 and the completed structure was consecrated in 1134. It was built in the Romanesque style which arrived in Ireland in the early 12th century and Cormac's Chapel, one of the very earliest in this new style, is one of the most ornate. The Rock of Cashel is one of Ireland’s most spectacular and – deservedly – most visited tourist attractions.
Rock of Cashel is located in a little town, Cashel two hours south-west of Dublin. Open daily from 9am til 4:45 PM with a free admission. It takes roughly an hour to an hour and a half to visit the Rock of Cashel. I would suggest wearing appropriate footwear since most of the ground is uneven and rocky. Also, take into consideration it rains almost every day in Ireland, so bring an umbrella!
