This is a country I never though I was going to visit (at least this fast), but since I am having this opportunity to go to Ireland, there are different places I will like to visit. I have always heard that Ireland is one of the countries in Europe with the most historic castles. But the Dublin Castle has a large history that I will like to discover myself. In the picture above, Dublin Castle (Irish: Caisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath) off Dame Street, Dublin, Republic of Ireland, is a major Irish governmental complex, formerly the fortified seat of British rule in Ireland until 1922. Most of the complex dates from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King John, the first Lord of Ireland. The Castle served as the seat of English, then later British government of Ireland under the Lordship of Ireland (1171–1541), the Kingdom of Ireland (1541–1800), and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1800–1922). Upon establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, the complex was ceremonially handed over to the newly formed Provisional Government led by Michael Collins. (wikipedia).
