Dublin Castle

Dublin Castle is located in Dublin, Ireland. The castle complex serves as a major Irish Government center and a tourist attraction. The castle was built for defense by King John of England and was largely completed by 1230. The castle was designed in a Norman courtyard style with a central square, flanked by defensive walls that were protected at each corner with a circular tower. Through the middle ages, the castle’s structure was altered with additions added, although not all the additions remain today. The castle survived a fire in 1684 and was transformed into a Georgian palace. The majority of the medieval buildings remain under ground today with the exception of the Record and Bermingham Towers, which are the sole surviving towers from the original fortification. The castle boasts State apartments in the upper yard buildings, a Throne room, a State drawing room, a State dining room, State bedrooms, a State corridor, and Saint Patrick’s Hall, which was once a ballroom, but is currently used for presidential inaugurations. The opulent Royal Chapel was completed in 1814 and opened on Christmas Day. The chapel was the third chapel in the castle and the second in this location. The crypt of the Royal Chapel is now used as an art center. The Chester Beatty Library houses the Silk Road Café, while the Treasury Building houses a police museum. Dublin Castle is open to the public.

Ótimo ter conhecido a Chester Beatty Library @chester_beatty_dublin . Acervo MUITO interessante. Uma pena que não se possa fotografar nada dele, e a vigilância é intensa. No hall de entrada, no restaurante e no rooftop, onde essa foto foi feita, pode-se fotografar. Gostei particularmente do rico acervo sobre religiões e filosofias. Venha, você vai gostar. #Dublin #Irlanda #Ireland #ViajandonoBlogemDublin #ViajandonoBlognaIrlanda #VisitDublin #IgersDublin #braziliantravelbloggers #Irelands2017 #Irlandas2017 #visitireland #wanderdublin #IrelandLovers #irelandgram #lovedublin #DiscoverDublin #LoveIreland #Irelandcalling #postcardsfromIreland #dublinigers #instadublin #dublincity #Iwillmissit #lovindublin #saudade #chesterbeattylibrary #rooftop #libraries #bibliotecas (em Chester Beatty Library)

Lapis and Gold

July 7, 2016 5:38 PM Kyle and I have stopped for some coffee while hanging out in Dublin; we do this a lot, but finally we have some time to blog. Yesterday was a long, but eventful day. Although not exactly logical in terms of location, we took a train from Dublin to see the Cliffs of Moher and Bunratty Castle (these are technically closer to Dingle, our first stop). Either way, we had a great day enjoying some incredible views. Today we went to the National Museum for more on Irish history -- this year marks the 100th anniversary of the Easter rising. The museum largely focused on the wars of the country as they sought independence from British rule. Comprehensive and informative, we both learned the Irish perspective we're often not taught when we studied the world wars. Afterwards we headed to Dublin Castle and the Chester Beatty Library, home to plenty of the world's historical treasures. The only scroll to contain all known Egyptian love poems as well as the letters of St. Paul are on display amongst other artifacts. But by far our favorite was the current exhibit on display -- a Ruzbihan Qur'an, one of 5 in the world. The pages were individually placed around a room and visitors received magnifying glasses to see his exquisite detail to the work. Tonight we'll head to the touristy Temple Bar area, popular amongst college students as well. Despite the crowds, we've heard, from a Dubliner, it is a fun neighborhood for pub crawling. - Gabriella P.S. You don't realize how much you need variety in your diet until you're only eating at pubs. Being a bigger city, Dublin offers all kinds of food, so went to an Italian restaurant for lunch... I couldn't help it. I needed something different. The cuisine in Dingle was excellent, but Dublin's pubs are lack luster in terms of grub.
