Dublin City / Baile Átha Cliath
Dublin is the capital city of Ireland with a population of nearly million people and covering an area of 115 Sq Kilometers. Situated on the estuary of the River Liffey and in the province of Leinster. Despite its fame around the world, Dublin is a remarkably small and intimate city. This is an important aspect of its charm, for within the compact central districts are museums, art galleries, medieval cathedrals and churches, Georgian terraces and great public buildings – all part of a history that goes back over a thousand years. Yet Dublin is equally renowned for its lively pubs, theatres, music venues and literary heritage. All of these contribute to the contemporary city’s uniquely vibrant atmosphere and great social and cultural scene.

Many theories have been put forward to explain why they are so brightly painted and ornamented, none unfortunately likely to be true. It has been suggested, for instance, that the practice originated at the time of Elizabeth 1, when a Puritan administrator decreed that all the city’s door and window frames should be the same drab brown colour. In an act of the defiance, the artistic and expressive population responded by painting them in the brightest hues they could find. A similar story dates from reign of Queen Victoria in the late 1800’s. Some claim that after the death of her beloved husband Prince Albert, the grieving monarch ordered all the doors in Dublin painted black in his memory. Once again the rebellious Dubliners refused and turned their front doors into a riot of colour.

One of the greatest treasures of Trinity College Dublin, in addition to the Book of Kells, is the Old Library Building and in particular the Long Room. This is situated on the first floor of the Old Library – the location chosen by the designers over three hundred years ago so as to preserve the printed materials from the elements – and is a joy to behold. The room is the longest single-room library in Europe at 65 meters in length and contains over 200,000 of some of the oldest books in the library’s possession.
