Description

Crumlin Road Gaol Visitor Attraction and Conference Center is a fascinating museum in a historic 19th century prison.

It's a place full of history that operated as a penitentiary for more than 150 years, hosting more than 25,000 inmates, including famous personalities like Éamon de Valera and Bobby Sands.

The most interesting feature is an underground tunnel connecting the prison to the courthouse. The building, designed in the Victorian style by Charles Lanyon, impresses with its Gothic architecture and dark atmosphere, offering a glimpse into the harsh realities of the justice system and Northern Ireland's turbulent history.
