St. Patrick's Cathedral

Address:
St Patricks Close,
Dublin 8
Region: Dublin
Description: Saint Patrick on his journey through Ireland is said to have passed through Dublin. In a well close to where the cathedral now stands, he is reputed to have baptised converts from paganism to Christianity. To commemorate his visit, a small wooden church was built on this site, one of the four Celtic parish churches in Dublin. In 1191, under John Comyn, the first Anglo-Norman archbishop of Dublin, Saint Patrick's was raised to the status of a cathedral and the present building, the largest church in the country, was erected between 1200 and 1270. Eventually between 1860 and 1900 a full-scale restoration based on the original design, was carried out by the Guinness family. Saint Patrick's has contributed much to Irish life throughout its long history. The choir school was founded in 1432 and the cathedral choir took part in the first performance of Handel's Messiah in 1742.
