Old city

Old City is Dublin’s oldest district! It encompasses the area around Dublin Castle, Christ Church, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and the old city walls.

This is precisely where Dublin’s origins lie, and where its first settlements were established and developed. The area was strongly influenced by the Viking settlement, and some of the houses from that period can still be seen.

Start your trip to Dublin with a better understanding of the city’s ancient history by going back in time to Dublinia, and explore the area’s medieval features!
