A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Irish history is filled with remarkable events and tumultuous periods – spanning from Vikings to the Norman Invasion. This latter event significantly shaped the subsequent centuries for the Irish population under English and later, British, dominion. Substantial evidence of these bygone eras can be observed throughout the country.
The capital of Ireland for a brief period during the 17th century, Kilkenny is a city rich in history. St Mary’s Cathedral, located in Kilkenny, serves as the seat of the Diocese of Ossory, existing within the same pre-Norman borders as the ancient Kingdom of Ossory, which dates back approximately 2,000 years.
