Saint Patrick's Cathedral: Swift Under His Own Epitaph

0:00 / 0:20
  • Medieval Dublin: The City Behind the Georgian Mask: A walk that peels back Dublin's Georgian and Victorian elegance to find the Viking and Norman city buried underneath, from the castle over the black pool to the cathedral where Jonathan Swift lies under his own furious epitaph.
  • O'Connell Street: The Rising of 1916: A sober walk along Dublin's grandest boulevard, from the bullet-marked General Post Office where a republic was proclaimed to the river palace burned to found a state, reading the Easter Rising of nineteen sixteen and its cost stop by stop.
  • Trinity College: The Book and the Georgian City: A walk through the ordered, confident Dublin of the seventeen hundreds, from the Book of Kells at Trinity College out to the painted doors of Merrion Square, at your own unhurried pace.
