Prehistoric Sites
Ireland has one of the most impressive collections of prehistoric sites in Europe. In some places you are just like in the middle of an incredible open air archaeological museum like on the Dingle Peninsula. Ring forts are especially appealing to me coming from Asturias in the north of Spain with a celtic culture. These ring forts are so fascinating as they bring you 2,000 years back in time. By the way there are more than 40,000 of them in Ireland! Have a look at some examples in this gallery.
