A lovely Georgian building, built between 1802 and 1813, and probably one of the best Georgian buildings in Dublin. It is no longer a church and was for a time used as a party venue. The carved Greek inscription on the portico reads ‘Glory To God In The Highest’. St George’s is mentioned in Ulysses, its bells can be heard from the Blooms’ house in ...

He was an heroic figure at the time, but was brought down by a scandal over a love affair with a married woman. Joyce was greatly influenced by his ideals and his stor...
The Rotunda has been a maternity hospital since 1745, the first such hospital in the world, and has delivered many of Dublin’s babies every year since. In Joyce’s time it also had a renowned concert hall. It was somewhat obliquely referred to in Ulysses in the phrase as Bloom passed while attending the funeral of Paddy Dignam, who died in a drunken...
A fascinating repository of artefacts, portraits and information about Dublin’s many writers. James Joyce is in there of course, but also Oscar Wilde, Jonathon Swift, Samuel Beckett, W.B. Yeats, Patrick Kavanagh and many more. The building is a wonderful example of Georgian architecture and is worth a visit in itself.

This was also the place where “trams slowed, shunted, changed trolley, started for Blackrock, Kingstown and Dalkey“, though Joyce marked the location with reference to Nelson’s Pillar, which stood opposite from when it was built in 1808, to honour Admiral Nelson following the Battle of Trafalgar, until it was blown up in 1966. The GPO was also the ...
Standing dramatically overlooking the entrance to the street which bears his name, Daniel O’Connell was the leader of the Catholic Emancipation movement in the early 19th century, campaigning for Catholics to be allowed to vote.
