Page 7 of the Pictorial Insiders Guide to Dublin

This is Dublin Castle,the final stop on our tour.This fine castle was built on King John's order in 1204 as part of the city's defensive system. Now much rebuilt it is a castle only in name. Dublin Castle's State Apartments were once use by Viceroys for great occasions and for visits of the Kings and Queens of England. Nowadays these splendid apartments are used ceremonially by the Government and are closed to the public on such occasions. The undercroft (Crypt) of the Chapel Royal are well worth a visit. Guided tours are run daily.
I hope you have enjoyed this short tour and that we have encouraged you to come along to experience Dublin for yourself.
Goodbye!
