The Rock of Cashel rises above County Tipperary, showcasing medieval architecture and legendary Irish history.

The Rock of Cashel, perched atop a dramatic limestone outcrop in County Tipperary, was the historic seat of the Kings of Munster. This iconic site features ancient high crosses, a round tower, and Cormac’s Chapel, renowned for its Romanesque frescoes—the only surviving examples in Ireland.
