Monument sights in Dublin

1. A Map

   Campanile

   • Dublin, Ireland
   • Sights › Monument

   Through the Regent House entrance of Trinity College, past the Students Union, are Front Sq and Parliament Sq, the latter dominated by the 30m-high Campanile, designed by Edward Lanyon and erected from 1852 to 1853 on what was believed to be the centre of the monastery that preceded the college. Students who pass beneath it when the bells toll will fail their exams, according to superstition.

   Fusiliers' Arch

   • Dublin, Ireland
   • Sights › Monument

   The main entrance to the green today is beneath Fusiliers’ Arch, at the top of Grafton St. Modelled to look like a smaller version of the Arch of Titus in Rome, the arch commemorates the 212 soldiers of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who were killed fighting for the British in the Boer War (1899–1902).
