Dublin Castle

Dating from Norman times, the palatial Dublin Castle was originally built on the orders of King John, in 1204. The largest visible remaining fragment of the original 13th-century castle is the Record Tower. It stands beside the 19th-century gothic revival Chapel Royal. Recently uncovered excavations of Viking fortifications can be viewed at the undercroft. Admission is by guided tour only. Tours run every 20 to 30 minutes.
