In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church.[3] 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.[5] Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/ursula_valtiner/">ursula.valtiner</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/ursula_valtiner/55433317795/" title="Irland / Ireland"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55433317795_7f87cfe6c7_m.jpg" width="240" height="187" alt="Irland / Ireland" /></a></p> <p>Hier noch einmal ein Querschnitt unserer Irland-Reise.
