The Keep of Athlone Castle is a National Monument. The castle, which formed part of Athlone's defenses for 750 years, became a museum in 1966 run by the Old Athlone Society and was also given a modern visitor center by the city council in 1991. Athlone Castle is the fulcrum for understanding the development of Athlone, linking modern Athlone to its Norman founders.
