Dublin is the largest city, and the capital, of Ireland. I've never been there so far, but I would like to visit some day, as I know many people who have been to Dublin, and all of them loved it. Here are the three highlights:
1) The Custom House is a neoclassical 18th century building in Dublin, Ireland which houses the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. It is located on the north bank of the River Liffey, on Custom House Quay between Butt Bridge and Talbot Memorial Bridge.
2) Phoenix Park is one of the largest enclosed urban public parks in Europe located 3 km to the north west of Dublin city centre in Ireland. It measures 707 hectares, with a walled circumference of 16 km that contains large areas of grassland and tree-lined avenues. The park has been home to a herd of wild Fallow deer since the seventeenth century. The name is a corruption of the Irish fionn uisce meaning "clear water".
3) Dublin Castleoff Dame Street, was until 1922 the fortified seat of British rule in Ireland, and is now a major Irish government complex. Most of it dates from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King John, the first Lord of Ireland.
This is part 30 out of a series of 50. Next city tomorrow: Los Angeles.
