The area of central Dublin just north of the River Liffey, bounded by Church Street to the west and Capel Street to the east, is steeped in history and brimming with fascinating stories. Once home to two ancient monasteries—the Dominican Priory of St. Saviors and the influential Cistercian Abbey of St. Mary—much of which has now vanished, this district also hosted numerous historic markets, at least four former prisons, and a variety of churches, each with its own story to tell.
Rich in remarkable architecture, archaeology, and layered with extraordinary religious, penal, political, and social history, this area offers a unique glimpse into Dublin’s past. Walking through these streets, you can trace centuries of the city’s evolution, from medieval foundations to vibrant modern life, making it one of the most captivating and rewarding areas of Dublin to explore on foot.
