Fortaleza a las afueras de Dublín, lleva tiempo en restauración y no se puede visitar, pero ver sus murallas desde el exterior y desde la colina disfrutar de las vistas del parque Fénix y de la ciudad merece la pena.

Great place for walking. Small area for parking.

Good for history buffs, it will be well worth a visit when the OPW finishes the major works taking place there. Built by the British as part of their plan to defend against the French , as we're the martello towers around the Irish coast line .
