The Dublin Castle is one of the most famous landmarks of the city of Dublin. It is situated on Dame Street in the Irish capital. Currently, except a popular tourist attraction it is a big Irish government complex.

The Dublin Castle fulfilled different roles during its existence. It was built in the 12^th century by the English king John of England. Its construction started in 1204 as a defensive structure against Norman invasions. This was the response of the English crown to the invasion led by Norman knights in 1169. Most of the castle was completed in the next 3 years. It represented a typical Norman fortification structure. There was a central square without a keep surrounded by high and well-built protective walls. On every corner of the walls there were circular towers for defensive purposes. Then, the castle stood on the north end of the medieval town and was protected on two sides by the Poddle River.
