The terms "Cashel", "Cahir" and "Dun" all refer to a castle complex in Irish. However, the so-called Rock of Cashel in the town of Cashel is not just any random complex, but THE castle complex on the island. From the 4th In the 19th century, the regional rulers, the so-called Kings of Munster, sat here. The hill was probably ideal for a seat of power, as was the wide and very fertile surrounding area, the "Golden Vale". Buildings from the early reign are no longer preserved. The oldest is still surviving structure is the round tower (#14) from around 1100. Such round towers were typical of early Irish monasteries, as we have also seen at Clonmacnoise.Next to Cormac's Chapel, the ruins of the Romanesque cathedral (built later by the English) characterize 1235-1270) the plant.When you visit it, you feel like you are in a fantasy film.

This is where St. Patrick converted King Angus to Christianity. According to legend, St. Patrick accidentally placed his crosier, which had a sharp point, on the king's foot in the water during baptism, causing him to bleed. Luckily Angus thought it was all part of the ceremony!

At the town of Cashel is the Rock of Cashel. The mountain is 65 meters high and is considered a great landmark by the Irish. It links the Irish story.
The cathedral was built in Gothic style in the 13th century and has no aisles.
