You're standing at Dublin Castle, right in the heart of historic Dublin, just off Dame Street. Expecting battlements and a moat? You might be a little surprised. Most of the buildings here date from the eighteenth century, more palace than fortress. One writer even called the place a piece of English make-do and mend.
