The cathedral is well known for its incredible stained glass windows and beautifully landscaped gardens, and it\u2019s also believed that St. Patrick converted to Christianity when he was baptized here in AD 450.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like Christchurch, St. Patrick&#8217;s was originally constructed in timber but has been redeveloped over the centuries to become the jaw-dropping attraction it is today. Despite these extensive renovations, some remains of the twelfth-century church are still visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Literary fans take note: Jonathan Swift, the author of <em>Gulliver&#8217;s Travels, <\/em>was the Dean of St. Patrick&#8217;s for 35 years and is interred in a tomb just to the right of the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3.

The Old Library is open seven days a week but gets very busy in the summer, so if you want more than a fleeting glance at the Book of Kells, head here early or late in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4.

Built on the site of a Danish Viking fortress from 930 AD, the castle has acted as the stronghold of British power and a symbol of British rule in Ireland for more than 700 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The castle was a key target during the 1916 Easter Rising but now enjoys a less turbulent existence and is used by the Irish government for meetings, functions, and the inauguration of Irish presidents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several museums on-site, including the Chester Beatty Library and Gallery, plus a fine collection of art and manuscripts featuring Chinese jade books and ancient illuminated European texts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the best ways to take in all that Dublin Castle offers is with a guided tour, which takes in the state apartments with their exquisite Georgian d\u00e9cor. Alternatively, you can download the free Dublin Castle app and do your own self-guided walking tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6.
