Christ Church Cathedral gardens
everything felt perfect that day...having lunch on the garden togehter with the locals on lunch break made us feel part of the city...
About this place:
Viking Dublin's cathedral was built on this site c. 1030, but the present shape of the cathedral dates from the 1180s.
The collapse of the south wall of the nave in 1562 necessitated a temporary rebuilding, which lasted until the 1870s! George Edmund Street, one of the foremost Victorian architects of the time, undertook a complete restoration of Christ Church between 1871-8, at the expense of a Dublin whiskey distiller, Henry Roe, who gave £230,000 (£23m today!) to save the cathedral.
