- City center
by You can barely imagine the amount of books there and the atmosphere of gratitude that captures you when you step in. Besides the walk among the thousands of books the Old Library offers exhibitions as well. The most famous is the Book of Kells exhibition. The Book of Kells is a world famous 9th century manuscript of the four gospels that was written on calfskin. Other old manuscripts are also exhibited besides this one.
The so called Long Room of the library gives place to more than 200,000 of the oldest books of the library. It's wonderful. I think I could move in there. :)

Dublin, once again, slipped into an era of regression and its progress was hampered. Dublin’s plight continued for over a century until the Irish rebellions/wars of 1916, 1919 and 1921 respectively freed Ireland. [...]More travel tips you might be interested in
