1,000 years marked of Reginald's Tower

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / June 09 2003: 1,000 years marked of Reginald's Tower

The 1,000th birthday of Waterford's most prominent landmark - Reginald's Tower - is to be marked in the city today. The celebration is based on the popular belief that the tower was built in 1003AD, as proclaimed on a limestone plaque erected on the tower in the early 19th century. The present structure dates from the late 12th century and is the oldest urban civic building in the State.
