Cahir Castle, located in County Tipperary, Ireland, is a badass fortress from the 13th century that was home to the powerful Butler family. It's perched on a rocky island in the River Suir and was once considered impregnable until it got bombarded with heavy artillery in 1599. The castle's original structure still stands strong, and visitors can dive into its history through an awesome audiovisual show. Plus, it's been a cool filming location for movies and TV shows like Excalibur and The Tudors. So, if you're into medieval vibes and epic tales of conquest, Cahir Castle is definitely worth checking out!
