Dublinia is a historical centre idyllically situated on the central part of the medieval city just beside the Christchurch Cathedral. This site attempts to provide a vivid exhibition of medieval life in Dublin including the arrival of the Anglo-Normans and the closure of monasteries. It reveals significant information about Dublin from the 12th century down to the 16th century. It offers a multimedia presentation of the historical accounts in Dublin.

Aside from the 800 years old medieval history, Dublinia also houses some valuable artifacts and remnants from the Wood Quay Excavations. In here, you can marvel at a female skeleton which was believed to be from a woman of the medieval times. Maneuver your way upstairs of this Gothic styled building to witness a remarkable model of the city during the 16th century.

If you are looking for a venue for an upcoming event, pick Dublinia. This will provide you and your delegates with the most unique gathering backdrop. Although this building was excellently restored, the historical feel is still evident among the stained glass windows, the imposing stairway and the remarkable Gothic Arches.

While at Dublinia, you can opt to relive the Viking era in Dublin. There is added exhibition for this. Dublinia vividly portrays the Viking’s way of life and how they have influenced the local Dubliners. You might even be amazed to see that some of these Viking effects are still manifested up to these days.

You can join the guided tour of Dublinia for a deeper and profound understanding and experience of the place as well as the past of Dublin. It is recommended to book yourself in prior to your actual visit. This will give you an added assurance of enjoyment as you visit this heritage site.

What’s more, you can bring some souvenir items to your family or friends who didn’t make it to the tour. There is a craft shop within the vicinity of Dublinia where you can purchase books, gifts and keepsakes.

The rich history of a particular setting oftentimes comprises the tourism aspects of the place. In the case of Dublin, this may be due to the fact that without the existence of the medieval city, there won’t be a Dublin City we all enjoy now.
