had to do the castle, did not get to see everything as we were short of time. But thought the entrance to the castle was horrible, just took the historic nature of the castle away, but once in the castle I enjoyed what I saw.

St. Johns Cathedral is a very impressive building and representative of a lot of religious building built by our more fervant ansestors. This church is set near the river and has not suffered the fate of other churches and been swallowed up by the city. A lovely place for a few reflective moments

Beautiful building well preserved and well situated. It catches the eye as you drive by as it is such a spectacular cathedral. It is worth a visit to experience the stone work at close hand and to admire the design in detail and to see the tall spire. It has undergone some renovation and it is in good repair.

A place of worship with very impressive architecture - tallest spire in Ireland at 94m (over 300 ft), and attractively refurbished on the inside. Free admission, with free leaflets in several languages. It is slightly outside the main shopping/tourist area, and the area around it is down-at-heel, but it is well worth a visit.

We enjoyed the castle itself. The view is very nice from the top. You can see the entire countryside area. It was good to get a full history of this castle and Ireland but they need to get this in the 2000's. The next generation is way too multimedia savy to sit through this. There is a slide show and...

It stands proudly in the grey Limerick landscape, & defys time. The architecture is splendid both inside & outside. The whole area is worth a trip.
