Dublin
Castle
is
one
of
the
most
important
historical
sites
in
Ireland.
It
was
built
in
the
13th
century
on
the
site
of
a
Viking
settlement
and
served
as
the
seat
of
English
and
British
rule
in
Ireland
for
over
700
years.
Today,
it
is
a
museum,
a
government
complex,
and
a
venue
for
state
ceremonies
and
events
If
you
want
to
learn
more
about
the
history
and
significance
of
Dublin
Castle,
I
highly
recommend
taking
a
guided
tour.
We
had
a
wonderful
experience
with
our
guide,
who
was
very
knowledgeable
and
friendly.
She
showed
us
around
the
State
Apartments,
the
Chapel
Royal,
the
Medieval
Tower,
and
the
Viking
Excavation.
She
also
shared
many
interesting
stories
and
anecdotes
about
the
people
who
lived
and
worked
in
the
castle
over
the
centuries.
It
was
fascinating
to
see
how
the
castle
changed
and
evolved
with
different
eras
and
events.
One
thing
to
note
is
that
you
can
only
buy
guided
tour
tickets
in
person
at
the
castle.
You
can
buy
self-guided
tour
tickets
online,
but
you
will
miss
out
on
a
lot
of
information
and
access
to
some
parts
of
the
castle.
We
arrived
around
11
am
and
the
next
available
tour
was
at
3:30
pm.
Luckily,
we
had
time
to
spare
and
we
enjoyed
exploring
the
nearby
attractions
(and
grabbed
lunch).
Overall,
we
had
a
great
time
visiting
Dublin
Castle
and
we
learned
a
lot
about
Irish
history
and
culture.
