Dunluce Castle - County Antrim Dunluce Castle. The dramatic ruin of Dunluce Castle forms the remains of the largest, most sophisticated castle on the Northern Irish coastline. Perched on a hundred foot high sheer cliff, the only way to enter is along a long narrow bridge overlooked by the battlements. The castle dates from the 10th century and the story of the castle is a story of the legendary ""Shorley Boy"", of the wild MacDonnells from Scotland and their terrible feuds with the O'Neills of Ulster, and the forces of the English crown. http://www.famouslandmarks.net (Added: Wed Dec 00 0 Hits: 0 Rating: 0.00 Votes: 0)   Rate It   Review It  View Details Gates Of Understanding - Macau - China Gates of UnderstandingMade by the Portuguese sculpturer Charters de Almeida, The Gate of Understanding in Praia Grande Bay, is the biggest Territory's monument with 130ft height, concrete central body covered with black polished marble.
