Malahide Castle - Ireland 1

El sábado 16 de septiembre, después de la clase de inglés y de tomar el lunch en Rosemont, fuimos a visitar Malahide Castle, uno de los castillos con más historia de Irlanda. La guía nos dio muchos datos de forma amena y entretenida. Pudimos también recorrer los jardines que pertenecen al castillo.

Malahide Castle has a long and rich history and played a central role in Medieval Irish history.The oldest parts of the castle date back to the 12th century.

The building was notably enlarged in the reign of Edward lV. The estate survived such losses as the Battle of the Boyne and the Penal Laws. It was home to the Talbot family for almost 800 years (1185-1975), an English family holding the title Earls of Shrewsbury, who had arrived in England during the Norman invasion with Willian the Conqueror.
