The Chester Beatty Library - Dublin
Previous Next
Dublin Castle. Fragments are all that remain of the great medieval fortress that once served as a symbol of Royal authority in Ireland and the center of administration. From 1684 to 1761 it was extensively rebuilt, though the shape of the Anglo-Norman castle roughly coincides with the rebuilding. Its construction began in 1204 when King John directed Meiler FitzHenry, the Justiciar, to make a castle in Dublin ""with good ditches and strong walls"".
