Time permitting, enjoy a brief exploration of the gallery before heading north and west through a district rich in historic, civic, residential, and ecclesiastical treasures.
Highlights include Dublin’s enigmatic Black Church, Glasgow-style tenement buildings, James Gandon’s King’s Inns, and John Skipton Mulvany’s Broadstone Station, showcasing the city’s architectural and transport history. The route continues into the Grangegorman area, home to a network of hospitals, prisons, asylums, and workhouses, including Francis Johnston’s Women’s Penitentiary and the Richmond Asylum, part of a vast Georgian-era complex.
