Cahir Castle 


Until the 16th C. Cahir Castle (National Monument) was one of the largest castles in Ireland. After a long and eventful history of destructions and rebuildings the castle was restored in 1970 and now houses a small museum.
The castle consists of a massive three-story keep and a great hall, with two spacious wards or courts, all enclosed within strong high outer walls, reinforced by round and rectangular towers.
The audio-visual show "Partly Hidden and Partly Revealed" (in English, French and German) describes all the main sites of the area.
