Where the Christ Church Cathedral stands today, there was a place of worship in Viking times. The Viking King Seidenbart, built this in 1028. The stone church built subsequently dates back to the time of the conquest of Ireland by Strongbow.

City Hall

Dublin City Hall is Gregorian in architecture and was built between 1769 and 1779. The City Hall impresses with its nice decorated, round entrance hall with a column-supported dome. The Royal Exchange had its seat here and was the meeting place for the merchants and businessmen of Dublin. When Ireland’s financial situation was poor in the 19th century, the stock exchange closed.

Dublin Castle

Another of Dublin’s attractions is Dublin Castle, which is not far from City Hall. Today only the mighty round tower from the early 13th century reminds of the former castle. In the 17th century, a large fire destroyed large parts of the historic building. In their place a beautiful palace was built with a throne room, ballroom and luxury furniture for the viceroys.

Grafton Street

Grafton Street is one of the main shopping streets in Dublin. It runs south from Trinity College. It was named after the first Duke of Grafton, a noble British landowner. Grafton Street has various small and large shops and invites you to stroll. The sumptuously furnished Bewley’s, which is located in the middle of the street, is well worth a visit.
