Dublin, Ireland

Dublin figures prominently in Irish history, having endured centuries of repressive rule before suffering some of the most brutal battles of the Irish rebellion and revolution in the early 20th century. The River Liffey flows through the city, the capital of Ireland. On its north bank is the Four Courts building, centre. This 18th-century building is the seat of Ireland’s high court.
