Kilmainham Gaol Overview
One of the most remarkable places to visit in Ireland is the Kilmainham Gaol. Formerly a prison to suppress the rebellious Irish freedom fighters, this national building is now restored as a museum. A tour of this now unoccupied gaol offers an intriguing realistic insight into the correctional facilities of the bygone era. Some of the notable fighters who were imprisoned include Charles Stewart Parnell, Oliver Bond, John Dillon, etc.

Now, the Office of Public Works runs this museum and offers tours, along with guides to elaborate on the details of the troubled Irish past. You can also visit the art gallery on the top-most floor and witness the wide range of sculptures, paintings, and jewellery collections of prisoners. Though the place is now devoid of prisoners, it depicts the horror of the past with apt eloquence and tragedy.

Location: Inchicore Road, Kilmainham, Dublin 8, Ireland
