Dublin Castle, located in the heart of Dublin, Ireland, is a historic complex that has played a pivotal role in the country's history for over 800 years. Originally built as a defensive fortification by the Anglo-Normans in the early 13th century, the castle has evolved significantly over the centuries. It served as the seat of British administration in Ireland until 1922, when it was handed over to the new Irish government. Today, Dublin Castle is a major government complex and a popular tourist attraction, featuring a mix of medieval, Georgian, and modern buildings.
