Limericks Historic Attractions
Limerick is a city stepped in history it stretches back to its establishment by the Vikings as a walled city on King's Island in 812, and its charter in 1197. The original walls of Limerick City along with King Johns Castle built on the orders of King John in 1200 are within walking distance of the Limerick Strand Hotel and stunning views of the castle are visible from many of our superior rooms.
Limerick City was besieged three times in the 17th century, resulting in the famous Treaty of Limerick, the stone upon which this treaty was written again is just a 2 minutes stroll from the Limerick Strand Hotel a must see when visiting Limerick.
