Dublin Castle Photos

Dublin Castle, built in 1204, is one of the oldest buildings in Dublin City. Its architectural style and scale were called one of the grand castles in Europe at the beginning of its completion. The fortress between the two sides. The luxurious interior of the castle is decorated with rare building materials such as crystal from Waterford and marble from Italy, and has now become a routine venue for the inauguration of Irish presidents. The castle is rectangular in shape, and the four corners are composed of four companion castles. In 1169, the Normans landed in County Wexford, Ireland, and they have been in control of Dublin for a few years. Thirty years later, King John of England authorized the construction of a castle to house his taxes and treasures, and to serve as a British base in Ireland. It was against this historical backdrop that Dublin Castle was built. The fire of Zhurong in 1684 destroyed most of the buildings of the ancient castle, and only one companion castle was completely preserved, so most of the existing old buildings in the castle are the items left after the fire.
