About Limerick
Limerick is a Shannon-side city in the west of Ireland, with a Norman castle on King's Island, Georgian streets and a strong rugby and literary tradition.
Limerick sits where the River Shannon widens towards its estuary, and its oldest quarter lies on King's Island. King John's Castle, a thirteenth-century Norman fortress with round towers, dominates the riverbank, and St Mary's Cathedral stands near it, begun in the twelfth century. The Treaty Stone, on a plinth near Thomond Bridge, marks the 1691 treaty that ended the Williamite war in Ireland.
Top-ranked sights in Limerick: Bishop's Palace, Treaty Stone.
