King John's Castle on King's Island in the River Shannon is one of Ireland's most impressive Norman fortresses, built between 1200 and 1210 on the orders of King John and featuring five circular towers, a gatehouse with portcullis, and an outstanding visitor centre whose exhibits illuminate 800 years of Limerick history from Viking settlement to the Siege of 1690. The castle's riverside position provides excellent views across the Shannon. Hotels near King John's Castle are in the historic medieval core of Limerick, close to the English Town's ancient streets and the city's increasingly vibrant restaurant scene.
