Description
Happy St. Patrick's day everyone!

This is an aerial photograph taken out of a 2 seater plane on a recent trip around the "neighbourhood".

The Rock of Cashel served as the traditional seat of the Kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion, though few remnants if any of the early structures survive. The majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. It is also where the King of Munster was converted to Christianity by St. Patrick in the 5th century A.D.

The buildings which crown the Rock of Cashel present a mass and outline of great complexity, rivaling other sites in western Europe. The complex has a character of its own, unique and native, and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe.
