St. Patrick’s Cathedral is part of a long history of holy buildings that have stood at this same spot. The first reference to a church here is from the year 890, more than eleven hundred years ago. Around 800 years ago, the wooden church built here was rebuilt with stone by the Normans. It was also elevated to the status of cathedral and dedicated to "God, our Blessed Lady Mary and St Patrick" in March of 1191. Buy once, use for one year!

This spot was once where the original Viking fortifications stood. It’s the high point of the city, making it easy to defend and giving it a clear view of the surrounding area. So when the English King John decided to build a castle in 1204, he picked the same spot. It was constructed as a motte and bailey, basically a main building on a hill surrounded by a defensive wall with a large courtyard and smaller buildings inside.
This gorgeous white stone building to our left is Dublin’s city hall, a beautiful example of Georgian architecture. In this style, balance is king. That’s why this hall is so symmetrical. Those classical pillars out front are another iconic characteristic of Georgian buildings.
