Kilkenny

 

A mid size town in southeast Ireland, it is small but with a lot of historical monuments in the centre. Most important development came in 12 C when William Marshal married the Princess of Leinster, using her family wealth and his military background to build a protected town to invite merchants from all over Europe to stay. The same background as Bastides (protected new towns) that were being built in 12 C France.

It is pleasant to wander around Kilkenny, with river Nore flowing in the middle,  lots of restaurants, cafes, and museums and galleries.
