KILKENNY

In kilkenny we went to a very big cathedral, it was very big and interesant. And it has many history about Kilkenny: Kilkenny has been an important town since pre-Christian times. The first major settlement appears to have originated on the area of high ground now occupied by St Canice's Cathedral. The round tower currently here is the only above ground remnant of the early medieval monastery founded by the Irish Saint Canice. The surrounding area of Irishtown, as it has been known since Norman times, is therefore the oldest part of the city. The earliest church on the site is presumed to have been made of wood, being replaced eventually in the later medieval period by a romanesque-style stone church. This was in turn replaced by the current imposing medieval cathedral.

Opinion: I think that Kilkenny is very interesting because we learnt many historical things about Ireland and his history. it wasn't too funny but it has been very interesting and education.
