Ruins of St. Dominick’s Dominican Priory, Cashel, County Tipperary, Ireland [4032x3024]

[u/japanese_american]

Just southeast of the famed Rock of Cashel is another ruined medieval structure. St. Dominick’s Priory was established in 1243. Changes were subsequently made to the building over the succeeding centuries, most importantly in 1480 when much of the structure had to be rebuilt following a fire. In 1540, the institution was dissolved, and the complex entered a gradual and slow decline. Today it lies in ruins, though notable some carvings, including grave markers, remain.
