Informations supplémentaires

The sweeping roof of the 21st century Glasnevin Cemetery Museum in Dublin City, appears to lead the eye to the 19th century, mock round tower above the grave of Daniel O’Connell, also known as The Liberator. The memorial shares a tenuous link with the Spire in O'Connell Street. Following the demolition of Nelson's Pillar in O’Connell Street by Republican's, Northern Irish Loyalists decided to exact revenge by blowing-up the round tower in 1971. Despite the explosion, the memorial remained intact, but damaged windows and staircase meant the public were unable to climb to the top. Refurbished in 2018, visitors can now ascend the 198 steps to enjoy panoramic views across the city from one of its highest vantage points.
