Dublin - Trinity College

Dublin sightseeing, attractions and online travel guide

Ireland’s principal seat of learning, Trinity College was founded in 1592 by Elizabeth I. The university complex boasts some marvellous old buildings and a wonderful campanile but the main attraction is The Book of Kells. Housed in the Library of Colonnades, this superb illuminated manuscript dates from around 800AD and is one of the oldest books in the world. The College covers around 35 acres with cobbled squares and gardens bordered by buildings that trace Dublin’s history over three hundred years. Former students include play-write Samuel Becket, Nobel prize winner Rowan Hamilton and Mary Robinson the country’s first female president.
