Cashel, Historical town in County Tipperary, Ireland
The Rock of Cashel stands on a limestone outcrop rising 358 feet above the surrounding plains of County Tipperary, defining the town's profile.
The site served as the seat of the Kings of Munster from the 4th century until 1101, when it was granted to the Christian church.
The Bolton Library within the town holds a collection of early printed books, manuscripts, and important historical documents from the 12th century.
Visitors can reach Cashel by Bus Éireann services connecting Dublin and Cork, with the M8 motorway providing direct road access.
The 12th-century Cormac's Chapel contains rare Romanesque wall paintings and architectural details found nowhere else in Ireland.
