Erected in the early thirteenth century on the site of a Viking settlement, Dublin Castle served for centuries as the headquarters of English, and later British, administration in Ireland. In 1922, following Ireland’s independence, Dublin Castle was handed over to the new Irish government. It is now a major government complex and a key tourist attraction. Well worth a visit, and a tour - there's so much history here!

The best place to get a thorough grounding in modern Irish history and the Easter rising. The tour guides are incredibly knowledgeable and will guide you through this jail, which was established under English rule in the late 1700s. It is best known as the jail in which the revolutionaries of the Easter Rising in 1916 were imprisoned and ultimately executed.
