Lonely Planet review for Kilmainham Gaol
One of Dublin’s most sobering sights, Kilmainham Gaol oozes centuries of pain, oppression and suffering from its decrepit limestone hulk. Scene of countless emotional episodes along Ireland’s rocky road to independence, the jail was home to many of the country’s political heroes, martyrs and villains.
