Although it looks like a castle, it is actually a giant church that expanded throughout the centuries. St. Patrick was even a visitor! There was not a cloud in the sky when we visited, it was a rare, beautiful, sunny day in Cashel. Even some of the original paint (that the protestants tried to destroy with lime wash) remains. The caretakers of the Rock of Cashel are in the process of renovating it and having all of the original paint restored. Hands down, this was one of the most magnificent ruins we've seen thus far!
P.S. If you wish to be buried here, you would have had to been added to the waiting list in the 1930s!
