Architecture of Limerick

Much of County Limerick is low and undulating-particularly in the east, where it forms part of the rich plain known as the Golden Vale. There are, however, considerable elevations towards the west, south and north-east fringes of the county, and in the south-east the Galtee mountains reach into County Limerick from neighbouring County Tipperary. The county spreads out around the mouth of the Shannon, Ireland's longest river, and it's main focus Limerick City built on the river where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. Ireland's third largest city, Limerick, is home to a grid of gracious Georgian terraces and earlier medieval town plans

As you can understand, this is a pretty large undertaking which is why we will be adding buildings and places as we cover them. Currently we have the following areas:

Town / Village / Area
Adare
Limerick City
