Rock of Cashel

The Rock of Cashel, Co. Tipperay is a remarkable outcrop of limestone and it was the seat of Munster kings from 370 A.D. until 1101, when King Murtagh O'Brien granted the Rock to the Church. St. Patrick visited Cashel in 450 A.D. and baptised there King Aengus. The buildings on the Rock include a 10th century Round Tower, Cormac's Chapel, the Cathedral, the Hall of the Vicars Choral and St.Patrick's Cross, as well as some modern tombs and enclosing walls.
