Review:

Dublin Castle is a major government complex and historical site in Dublin, which was constructed near the beginning of the 13th century. For a number of centuries, the castle was the headquarters of English, and later on the British, government. In 1922, Ireland became an independent state and the castle was relinquished to the newly formed Irish government. Today, the castle remains an active government complex and is a popular tourist attraction. Visitors can download a free app to take a self-guided tour of the castle. There are also docent-guided tours available as well as children’s tours and workshops.
