Rock of Cashel, Ireland's Sacred Ruins

One of the main places you'll want to see when visiting Ireland is the Rock of Cashel, Ireland's most important medieval site.
From a distance it is a most un­expected and wonderful pile rising on three hundred feet of rock in the middle of an immense flat empty plain, like some gigantic magic palace, sus­pended in air.
The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. A unique, historic cathedral, castle, and round tower.
