Treaty Stone

Located near the river Shannon this treaty stone is an interesting , historic landmark from 1691. Limerick is rich in history and this stone marks a very significant treaty. The stop is worth adding to your agenda.

King John's Castle also known as Limerick Castle is a 13th-century castle located on King's Island in Limerick, Ireland, next to the River Shannon. Although the site dates back to 922 when the Vikings lived on the Island, the castle itself was built on the orders of King John in 1200. Wikipedia

Probably if you don't know what you're looking at , it's just stone on plinth.

The treaty agreement that never was. After the accord, and signing of the Treaty, the victorious Williamites did not honour its Treaty. This should teach us a lesson that the spoils go to the victor. And don't expect the victor to abide by the Treaty they sign.

Nice view to take pictures. In the same shot you can get Treaty Stone and Limerick Castle. Also few benches around just to sit and relax. Very cool place

The Treaty of Limerick was reputedly signed on this stone in 1691. The treaty ended the Williamite War in Ireland between King William III of England (William of Orange) and his predecessor James II. The monument is situated on the west bank of the Shannon just south of the Thomond Bridge. There is a fine view of King John's Castle on the opposite bank.

Remarkable landmark commemorating important Irish history from the late 17th century. A lot of lives have been lost before this treaty was drawn up and literally set in stone. John's Castle is just across the bridge, good eateries and pubs are nearby as well.

Nice place for do outdoors activities. Family gathering. Friends with nature. Superb nice view.

Directions to the treaty stone are wrong. Check several different sources or you will end up blocks from the actual location. Historic monument. Worth the walk.
