Saint Patricks Cathedral
Georgina Campbell
Built in honour of Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick’s Cathedral stands adjacent to the famous well where tradition has it Saint Patrick baptised converts on his visit to Dublin. The present building dates from 1220.
The Cathedral is today the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland (a church of the Anglican communion) and also serves as a popular tourist attraction.

From March until mid-September there are guided tours of the Cathedral every day at 11.30, 14.30, 15.00 and 15.30, excluding Sundays and there is no additional charge for the tour.
