Lonely Planet review for St Patrick’s Cathedral

This cathedral, which is located a mere stone’s throw from its sibling Christ Church, smack-bang in the heart of old Dublin, stands where St Patrick himself is said to have baptised converts at a well – even if the story isn’t exactly verifiable and the church itself in fact dates from 1191. What is proven fact, however, is that during his 1649 ‘visit’ to Ireland, the one and only Oliver Cromwell converted the nave into a stable for his horses.

    Beautiful Cathedral and around 700 years of history!

    Irniamh recommends this,

    Iam a Dub and we take this place for granted, its got 700 years worth of history inside including hundreds of burial sites of some of ireland's most significant indivduals. Beautiful architecture inside and if you go at the right time you might catch evensong or matins when the cathedral's choir come and sing!
