Part 4/10:
Just a short distance from Trinity College, Dublin Castle serves as a reminder of the city's storied past. Originally erected in the 13th century, the castle has been a focal point of British rule in Ireland until sovereignty was handed to the Irish government in 1922. While guided tours reveal the castle's secrets, we were captivated by the scenic grounds and the historical gravitas of the site.
Nearby, Christ Church Cathedral and St. Patrick's Cathedral stand as monumental testaments to Dublin's ecclesiastical heritage. Christ Church has served pilgrims for almost a millennium, while St. Patrick's cathedral, a short walk away, also exemplifies stunning architecture. If pressed to choose, we'd recommend St. Patrick's for its majestic atmosphere.
