King John's Castle is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, and is one of the best-preserved Norman castles in Europe. The castle overlooks the River Shannon and has been an important symbol of the city since its construction. The castle's history is deeply intertwined with the history of Limerick and Ireland itself, having been a site of sieges and battles over the centuries.

The castle is named after King John of England, who ordered the construction of a strong fortress on the site in 1200 AD to secure his hold over the region. The castle was completed around 1210 AD and served as a military stronghold, administrative center, and as royal quarters for those visiting the western part of the kingdom.

In the 1860s, the castle was featured in the work "Scenery and Antiquities of Ireland" by George Virtue, with illustrations by the renowned artist William Henry Bartlett. Bartlett was known for his detailed and picturesque landscapes, and his work on King John's Castle captures the historical and architectural significance of the site. The illustrations and accompanying text provided by Virtue and Bartlett offer a valuable insight into the castle's appearance and condition during the 19th century, as well as its place in the broader context of Ireland's rich heritage.

Today, King John's Castle is a popular tourist attraction, with visitors able to explore its towers, walls, and interactive exhibitions that recount its storied past. The castle's preservation and the ongoing archaeological excavations continue to contribute to our understanding of medieval Ireland and the lives of the people who lived and worked within its walls.
