"King John’s Castle is a museum entirely dedicated to uncovering the history of the very building in which it’s located, and it’s unquestionably among Limerick’s most impressive tourist spots. The exhibits at the newly revamped museum tell the tales of its dark history, including the infamous siege of Limerick, ancient trading habits, and the lifestyle of a Norman soldier. It’s a highly interactive museum, and, as a bonus, visitors can head to the 800-year-old turrets for spectacular views of the Shannon River."
