I have loved this building since I first saw it. In my mind, the most beautiful building in Dublin.
The sheer size of it is enough to take your breath away and the way it is lit up at night is spectacular.
The cathedral was build in the early 1000’s and is an absolutely beautiful example of Gothic architecture. I love the intricate towers and spires.
When I worked in Dublin in 2002, we had a function at Dublinia which is housed in a section of the cathedral known as the Synod Hall. That was an experience I will never forget, and I hope to visit the museum one of these days.
I have never been inside the cathedral itself. That is something I hope to change as well shortly.
I am a sucker for Wikipedia when it comes to looking for things… go ahead, give it a try – Christ Church Cathedral
