There is a special "Medieval Mile" pass, which offers free admission to many attractions such as Kilkenny Castle, Rothe House or St. Canice's Cathedral, the Round Tower and the Medieval Mile Museum - ask your Tourlane Travel Expert for more information. The museum is located in the former 13th century St Mary's Church, which has been carefully restored. Find out more about Ireland's rich past here using artifacts and interactive displays.
