The Rock of Cashel, County Tipperary.
The traditional seat of the Kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the
Norman invasion, most of the buildings date from the 12th and 13th centuries.
Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion to Christianity of the King of Munster
by St Patrick in the 5th century. Local folk lore holds that the Rock originated from
Devil’s Bit, a mountain 30 km north of Cashel, when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave,
resulting in the Rock landing at Cashel.
