About Kilkenny
Kilkenny has been known as Ireland's Mediaeval Capital for many years. The City's origins date back to more than 1500 years ago.

The great building skills of the Normans is very clear in the 11th and 12th century buildings they bestowed on the city. Fine examples of this can be seen with buildings such as Saint Canice's Cathedral, the great Butler castle and the four medieval abbeys.

Other examples can be seen in the linear streetscape and covered slipways. Kilkenny has won the National Tidy Towns award on 4 occasions.
