About Dublin
Dublin is diverse – a modern and vibrant city, it’s become home to the likes of Google, while a host of innovative restaurants and bars have also popped up. This cosmopolitan capital also boasts a rich history – you’ll find stunning examples of architecture dating right back to the ‘Dubh Linn’ (‘black pool’) settlement. Here, with a little help from Mairtin D’Alton of Architecture Tours Ireland, we take a journey through the ages, highlighting some of the city’s impressive hidden architecture.
