Trinity College
Outside the main entrance of the most prestigious university in the Republic of Ireland sit statues of two famous former students, Oliver Goldsmith and Edmund Burke, and other former graduates include Samuel Beckett and Oscar Wilde: no surprise then that the cobbled grounds and lush lawns at Trinity College are calming yet inspiring. The college library houses over 200,000 books, whilepriceless manuscripts are kept in the underground treasury. To the east of Library Square is the oldest part of the college, a redbrick building dating back to around 1700.

Dublin Castle
A representation of British rule for seven centuries, Dublin Castle was built in the 1200s by Anglo-Normans. All that remains of the original structure is the Record Tower, and even this has had extensive renovations. The State apartments, former home to the British-appointed Viceroys, are lavishly decorated and located on the south side of the Castle. Other points of interest are the Throne Room, St Patricks Hall, and the Figure of Justice. Located just off Dame Street.
