Cahir Castle

The Cahir Castle, one of Ireland's largest castles, still mainly has the same structure as when it was built. It is one of Ireland’s largest and best-preserved castles.

Being considered as of the nation's most powerful strongholds against invaders, the castle was built on a solid rock along the River Suir. The Cahir Castle should be included on your list if you want to see and experience authentic, original elements of a castle. There are hour-long guided tours available, as well as an audio-visual show that recounts the castle's long history. The castle is also a popular destination for tourists because of its use as a background for movies and television shows like The Tudors and Excalibur.
