    Sat within the heart of Limerick's medieval quarter and next to the River Shannon is the 13th century Limerick castle.

    Although the site dates back to the vikings, the current castle was built in 1200. It is regarded as one of the best preserved castles in Europe.

    To visit the castle you must purchase a ticket on kingjohnscastle.ie/tickets . The castle is open 7 days a week.
