Over the centuries, it transformed into the seat of English, and later British, rule in Ireland for over 900 years.The castle was the heart of British administration in Ireland until 1922, when it was handed over to the new Irish Free State following the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty. Today, it functions as a government complex, a venue for state functions, and a major tourist attraction.

The Book of Kells & Old Library

The Book of Kells is one of Ireland’s greatest cultural treasures—a stunning illuminated manuscript created by Celtic monks around 800 AD. Housed in the Long Room of Trinity College Dublin, this masterpiece contains the four Gospels in Latin, richly decorated with intricate artwork, gold leaf, and vivid colors. Every page is a marvel of craftsmanship, blending Christian iconography with traditional Irish motifs like spirals, animals, and knots. The Book of Kells was likely made on the island of Iona and later moved to Kells for safekeeping. Today, visitors can view two open pages, rotated regularly, along with a fascinating exhibition on how it was made. After seeing the book, don’t miss the breathtaking Long Room, lined with ancient books and marble busts—it’s one of the most photographed places in Dublin.
