Dublin Castle is now a major Irish government complex. Most of it dates from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King John. The Castle served as the seat of English, then later British government of Ireland. When The Irish Free State was established in 1922, the complex was ceremonially handed over to the newly formed Provisional Government led by Michael Collins.

Located in the oldest part of the city, this cathedral is one of Dublin's finest historic buildings. It dates back to 1038 when Sitric, then Danish king of Dublin, built the first wood here. The simple foundation was extended in 1171 and rebuilt in stone by Strongbow. The present structure dates mainly from 1871 to 1878 when a huge restoration was undertaken.
