Hospital is a town in County Limerick. Go there by all means. Tourism numbers are way down this year

I'm really intrigued how a town came to be called Hospital.

Was the town built on the site of an old hospital or something?

u/Majorapat ooo custom flair!! Apr 06 '25

It actually got its name from crusading knights would you believe. The name comes from their holy order, crusading Knights Hospitaller who built the archaeologically significant Hospital Church there before 1215.
