The largest disused prison in Europe, and a pivotal place in Irish history. This is where the leaders of the 1916 rising were held and executed, and where thousands of ordinary prisoners were held from 1796 to 1924, when Eamonn DeValera was the last person to be released.

I was a tour guide here for two years, so I am biased, but I think it is the one of the best places in Dublin for a visit. If you want to understand recent Irish history, this is the place for you.
