The Treaty Stone is a rough hewn limestone block raised on a pedestal standing across the river from King John's Castle. Traditionally it was on this rock that the Treaty of Limerick was signed in 1691, marking the surrender of the city to William of Orange. Under the terms of the treaty, the government promised to respect Catholicism, but the treaty was rejected by the English and Irish Parliaments and its terms were ignored. Thus Limerick became known as The City of the Broken Treaty. The pedestal is decorated with an image of the castle opposite surmounted by a dome and cross, showing that Limerick was a cathedral city. This symbol is now the civic insignia of the corporation. The Latin inscription is taken from Virgil's description of Troy.
Situated near St Munchins Church, on the opposite side of the river form King Johns Castle.
