Rock of Cashel. Step back in time at the iconic Rock of Cashel, one of Ireland’s most spectacular and historically significant sites. According to legend, this is where St. Patrick converted King Aenghus of Munster to Christianity in the 5th century. The Rock went on to become the seat of the High Kings of Munster and was later gifted to the Church, giving rise to the magnificent medieval structures that remain today. The site features a 12th-century round tower, Romanesque chapel, Gothic cathedral, and Cormac’s Chapel-one of the finest examples of Hiberno-Romanesque architecture in the country.
