Rute
Let us know you have arrived at the reception of the Medieval Mile Museum. Then we start the tour outside.
Endowing an alms house could grant indulgences, easing the journey of the founder’s soul after death, and offering the same grace to those who prayed for him. Sir Richard’s foundation was carefully written into his will, ensuring that prayers for his soul would be said regularly by the residents.
From here, goods arrived from across Ireland and beyond, and ships were loaded for continental markets.
In 1324, Kilkenny became the stage for one of the most infamous trials in medieval Ireland, the case of Alice Kyteler accused of being a Witch.
A courthouse now but once was called Graces Castle. The Grace family were one of Kilkenny’s most prominent Old English merchant dynasties — part of the influential Ten Tribes who dominated the city’s political, economic, and social life from the late medieval period into the 17th century
In the Middle Ages, the city’s walls defined not just its defences, but its identity, marking the boundary between those who belonged to the civic community and those outside it.
This is a non-stop, casual stroll, with guides using this final stretch to share the story of St Marys Cathedral, the Tholsol and the Hole in the Wall.

About Kilkenny
Kilkenny is a medieval city on the River Nore in south-east Ireland, with a Norman castle, a round tower and narrow lanes called slips.
Kilkenny grew along a ridge above the River Nore, and the Medieval Mile links its Norman castle at one end with St Canice's Cathedral at the other. The castle, rebuilt many times, was the seat of the Butler family for centuries and now has a picture gallery and rose gardens. St Canice's has a medieval round tower that can be climbed for a view of the roofs.
