According to legend, St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, converted King Munster to Christianity at the Rock of Cashel. Located in County Tipperary in Ireland's province of Munster, the Rock of Cashel (Carraig Phadraig in Irish), was the site of ancient Celtic kings of Munster for several hundred years.
Most of the orginal fortress is gone. The buildings still standing at Cashel date from the 12th and 13th centuries. Learn more:
