King John's Castle
The castle dates back to the 13th century and is sitting on the banks of the River Shannon. It is one of the best preserved Norman castles in Europe, and it was built over a Viking settlement. A great place to visit, and of course a fab building to paint. This view is from the wall going over Thomond Bridge. I added a bit of purple to the grey wall for drama, but otherwise this is the view on a cold January morning in 2024.
