This medieval castle is a top tourist attraction that provides a glimpse of Irish heritage.

Aside from castles, Ireland also boasts on many beautiful cathedrals. The Christ Church Cathedral is one of the famous medieval cathedrals that were restored in the Victorian period.

The museum is divided into different sections that showcase archeology, decorative arts, country life, and natural history.
