Ballinskelligs Bay and Ballinskelligs Castle’s ruin, Kerry, Ireland.
The castle was constructed by the MacCarthy Mórs in the 16th century to protect the bay from pirates and to charge a tariff on incoming trade ships. These Tower houses were built all around the Cork and Kerry coasts by the McCarthy Mór family. Another larger example is Ballycarbery Castle in Cahirsiveen. Caption: The ring of Kerry.
