Dublin Castle was established in the early thirteenth century at the site of the Viking settlement, and includes relics dating back to the seventeenth century, and has been used for centuries as a watchtower, and as a royal residence for the English state, the British state, and then the Irish administration.
In 1922, after Ireland’s independence, the castle was handed over to the new Irish government, and is now a government complex and a major tourist site in the country.
The castle currently plays an important role in welcoming the distinguished guests and elites of people, kings and presidents, in which the President’s inauguration ceremonies are held and is one of the most important tourist attractions in Ireland in Dublin.
