Dublin Castle

2 years ago, when we were here the line was too long so we didn't go in. I'm glad we did this time. The guided tour was great.

Medieval ruins underground, remains of the moat and now underground river systems, a beautiful chapel that looks like stone but is actually made of oak (because stone would have been too heavy and would sink into the old moat) and then a beautiful castle!

It is Ireland's version of Buckingham Palace. Beautiful!!!

Still used to house international leaders and other important people... Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, Nelson Mandela, Queen Elizabeth II, Pope Francis, and most recently (2 years ago) President Joe Biden.
Lovely portraits and room decors.

A real life 'Bridgerton' ballroom too that currently displays the clothing for the Order of St. Patrick... Surprised that was sky blue and gold, not greenLeia mais
