Welcome Picture of Casino Marino
Off the Malahide Road, Dublin 3, Dublin
The Casino was designed by Sir William Chambers as a pleasure house for James Caulfield, 1st Earl of Charlemont. It is one of the finest 18th century neo-classical buildings in Europe.
The Casino, meaning "small house", surprisingly contains 16 finely decorated rooms. It is a remarkable building - both in terms of structure and history. A house of illusions.
The interior is accessed by a stairway. In order to protect the inlaid floors visitors will not be permitted to wear shoes, disposa...
Welcome Picture of Old Jameson Distillery
Bow Street, Smithfield, Dublin 7, Dublin
The Old Jameson Distillery in Smithfield Village is in the heart of Old Dublin. Irish Whiskey can trace its history back to the 6th century.
It was established in 1780 by John Jameson and it's now one of Dublin's top attractions. It's almost like a tour of a working distillery as you can follow the fascinating craft of whiskey making through the different stages from grain intake to malting, mashing, fermentation, distillation, maturation and bottling.
Finally the tour culminat...

Lusk, Dublin
A monastery was founded here by St MacCullin in early Christian times, and the name Lusk derives from the cave (Irish 'lusca') where MacCullin was buried after his death in 497 AD.

The unusual square sixteenth-century belfry incorporates a sixth century Round Tower with three later towers built to match, all attached to a nineteenth-century church which contains some fine mediaeval tombs. Now the Lusk Heritage Centre, the belfry houses an exhibition on the mediaeval churches of North C...
Welcome Picture of Rathfarnham Castle
Rathfarnham, Dublin
The date of the foundation of the castle is uncertain, but recent research would suggest 1583 as the most likely date. It was built by Adam Loftus, a Yorkshireman.

The castle has a colourful and interesting history with 18th century interiors by Sir William Chambers and James 'Athenian' Stuart. It was declared a National Monument in the mid 1980s. The castle is presented to visitors as a castle undergoing active conservation.
The visitor can see, at first hand, tantalizing glimpses o...
Welcome Picture of Dublinia
Saint Micheals hill, Christ Church, Dublin 8, Dublin
Step inside the medieval city. The new exhibition develops the theme of life in the medieval city. Exciting new features include a reconstructed archaeological dig, fun interactive areas and the 3D reconstructed face of a medieval woman. Dublinia is well worth a second look.

President McAleese unveiled a medieval skeleton at the museum in Dvblinia. The addition of the skeleton to the museum enhances the interpretation of life in Dublin in medieval times
The skeleton was uncovered d...

Dublin 2, Dublin
From Suffolk Street, stroll down Trinity Street which brings you to College Green. Across Dame Street you will see the curved colonnaded front of an impressive granite building that once housed the Irish Parliament. When it was built in 1720 it was the world's first purpose built Parliament building and you will notice that there are no windows in the front portico to avoid distractions when Parliament was in session. In 1800 the Parliament took the unusual step of voting itself out of existen...
