The history of Dublin can be traced back to prehistoric times. The town was founded in 988 as a result of the merging of several villages. Many peoples have passed through the city - Vikings, Scandinavians, Normans and others. They all left their mark in the city in the form of art, architecture, culture. During the Middle Ages, the Vikings had the upper hand until the beginning of the Norman invasion. The Center of Norman and control became the Dublin Castle. From the 13th century onwards, the city began expanding and developing its economy rapidly and by the 18th century it was establish as a major trade center.
