Dear sports fans,
Your presence in Dublin is a first-class opportunity to travel back in time, specifically to the Middle Ages. St. Patrick’s Cathedral is the most characteristic building of the medieval period and we strongly recommend that it be the first place you visit during your stay in the capital of Ireland.
It was built in 1191 and was founded in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick was the one baptizing Christians in this particular area.
Explore the interior of the temple, take the tour which is approximately one hour and learn all about one of the UK’s most historic temples.
It is worth noting that the original building was made of wood. In 1192 it was decided to build another stone church and it would remain standing for over eight centuries.
Over the years, decades and centuries there have been some major renovations like the bell tower.
Locals often spend their time walking around St. Patrick’s Cathedral, as they consider that they get strength for the continuation of their day.
The temple is open from 9.30 am to 5 pm. The exception is the weekend when it is open from 9 am to 6 pm.
Several important people in Irish history are buried in the church, such as John de Sandford (Archbishop of Dublin), Richard Talbot (Archbishop of Dublin), Thomas Jones (Archbishop of Dublin), Jonathan Swift (satirist, poet, author) and others .
