Welcome to Medieval Dublin!
We will trace along the line of the former Medieval Walls looking for ancient artefacts and fragments of old buildings hidden in the alleys. Let’s decode old street names and learn how life looked like in Medieval time. I will show you the signs that remind modern citizens of the city’s past. Ancient towers and gates, a prison and a church, the story of Dublin fires and wars. You will feel the rhythm of Dublin of the 13th century, feel the size of the medieval city, surrounded by high walls, and hear the stories about the Vikings and the British who influenced the capital of Ireland.
