St Patrick's Cathedral
Dublín, IRLANDA 2024
St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin is one of the few remaining medieval buildings in the city and one of its most popular visitor attractions. Founded in 1191 in honour of Ireland's patron saint, it is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland and the largest church in the country.
It is renowned for its rich history and Gothic architecture. Its most celebrated resident is the writer Jonathan Swift (author of Gulliver's Travels), who served as Dean of the Cathedral in the 1700s and is buried there. The cathedral is also home to a world-famous choir, established in 1432, and is the origin of the English phrase to chance your arm, stemming from a medieval feud.
