Tipperary, Republic of Ireland<br /> <br /> The Rock of Cashel (Irish: Carraig Phádraig), also known as Cashel of the Kings and St. Patrick's Rock, is a historical site located dramatically above a plain at Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland.<br /> <br /> According to local legends, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel. According to the Tripartite Life of Saint Patrick Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by Saint Patrick in the 5th century.<br /> <br /> The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster as early as the 4th century and prior to the Norman invasion. In the 5th century the Eóganachta clan built a fortress at Cashel retaining supremacy there for hundreds of years. In 977 Brian Boru was crowned there as king and made Cashel his capital. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries. <br /> <br /> (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Cashel" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_of_Cashel</a>)</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/tedavisphotography/">tedavisphotography</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/tedavisphotography/54646576428/" title="Rock of Cashel"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54646576428_1d8e5099df_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Rock of Cashel" /></a></p> <p>Cashel, Co.
