The Blarney Stone is one of the prominent monuments in the city of Cork, which is a block of carbonate limestone built in the walls of the famous Blarney Castle, and many legends have swirled around it since ancient times, the most prominent of which is that kissing this stone gives the kisser the gift of chatter for a period of time. The stone was laid in the tower of the castle in 1446, and due to its presence in a popular tourist site in the city, a large number of tourists flock to it throughout the year.
