Dublin Castle was for centuries the seat of English and British rule in [Ireland](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Ireland/). The original castle was constructed by the Norman invaders on the order of [King John of England](https://www.worldhistory.org/King_John_of_England/) (r. 1199-1216) in 1204. Today, most of the castle consists of sections and extensions from later periods, mainly the 18th century when much had to be rebuilt after a fire. Visible is the Record Tower, the only surviving tower from the [Medieval castle](https://www.worldhistory.org/Medieval_Castle/), dating from around 1230. In front of the castle is the Dubhlinn Gardens, which is constructed over where the “dark pool” that gave its name to the [city](https://www.worldhistory.org/city/) originally was located.
