Mysterious Hallways - Kilmainham Gaol (Jail), Dublin Ireland – ca. 1796

Kilmainham Gaol is a historic prison in Dublin, Ireland. Built in 1796, it was called the "New Gaol" to distinguish it from the ancient dungeon it replaced. Many Irish revolutionaries, including the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising, were imprisoned there. The prison was decommissioned in 1924 and became a popular museum and tourist attraction in 1966.
