Kilmainham Gaol

Kilmainham Gaol is a fascinating museum in a former prison that played a key role in Irish history.

This site, where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were imprisoned, offers an unforgettable experience thanks to its Victorian architecture with a 'panopticon' layout.

Visitors can admire authentic political graffiti left by prisoners and meticulously restored cells with original furniture. The museum perfectly illustrates Ireland's turbulent history and its struggle for independence through moving exhibits and audiovisual presentations.
