Kilkenny: The Marble City, 1620

Kilkenny in 1620 is a prosperous inland borough caught between the fortified Ormond castle and the cathedral hill of St Canice, where Hiberno‑Norman merchants and Irish clergy share the streets. The walk moves from the river approach and bridge, along the long High Street with its new merchant houses and market cross, and finishes on the cathedral hill with a wide view over the Nore valley.

24 scenes, 15 streets, squares and views, 9 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Kilkenny as it stood in 1620 (“Kilkenny”).
