Limerick city is one of Ireland’s hidden treasures. In 1991, writer and historian Judith Hill wrote that before she came to Limerick, she was shown a map of the city and ‘there, clearly marked, I saw a castle, two cathedrals, a wide river with falls, the regular pattern of a Georgian quarter.’ This magnificent heritage is not as widely known at home or abroad as it deserves to be. In many respects, Limerick City awaits discovery and exploration, like many of the great cities of Eastern Europe, whose cultural and architectural riches had been locked away behind the Iron Curtain for forty years up to 1989.
