Waterford City, located in East County Waterford is the undisputed oldest city in Ireland and has a viking history dating back over 1200 years (iron age and stone age going much further back). Reginald's Tower in the picture below is the oldest civic building in Ireland and dates back to the 9th Century. Waterford still has much of it's original walls, both Viking and Norman and they can be viewed if you stroll around the city by foot. Waterford City, Ireland’s oldest city, founded by Viking raiders in AD 914, has played a pivotal role in the economic, political and cultural life Ireland and its motto "Urbs Intacta" (the untaken city) bears witness to the many power struggles and conflicts in which it has been embroiled through the centuries.
