Lonely Planet review

Home to Dublin's legal profession, King's Inns occupies a classical building on Constitution Hill, which was built by James Gandon between 1795 and 1817, with Francis Johnston chipping in with the cupola. In 1541, when Henry VIII staked his claim to be King of Ireland as well as England, the country's lawyers took the title the Honourable Society of King's Inns and moved into a Dominican Monastery on the site of the modern-day Four Courts.

When that building was erected they relocated here, where Irish barristers are still trained. It's only open to members and their guests.
