Christ Church Cathedral

Founded in 1030 by Sitriuc, King of Dublin following his return from a pilgrimage to Rome. The cathedral was extensively restored by George Edmund Street between 1871 and 1878. Very little of the ancient structure is visible externally, but within the Victorian shell much of the medieval fabric survives.

 

The slope of the left hand wall here wasn't caused by photographic stitching, it really does lean like that.

For a very different view of the interior, have a look here
