We've seen a lot of cathedrals throughout Europe, but we were still moved and impressed by Christ Church. The history is incredible, all the way back to Strongbow's burial crypt. Don't miss the basement crypt, which contains a treasure trove of gold and silver as well as many historic items. In one spot you can see down to the original... more

I enjoyed going into the Cathedral and particularly enjoyed the history behind the location. We spent most of our time on the main level, but there is a multimedia presentation in the "basement," along with other artifacts. I found the short movie to be fairly interesting, but my husband was somewhat bored. more

Yeah, you have to go see Christ Church Cathedral if you are in Dublin. Make sure you go downstairs and check out the crypt/tombs. Bring your camera or video camera.

There is so much to see; you'll love it whether you're there for history or architecture or spirituality. Monument to Strongbow, crypt to walk through, current excavation of the old chapterhouse-... more

This is a wonderful cathedral with many very interesting nooks and crannies. I love the prayer book, where you can write any requests you have for a loved one to be prayed for. I felt this was a very special building and had a great feeling of peace and holiness. At 10am the Dean (or some minister) did morning prayers,... more

This is another very impressive church, only a few blocks from St. Patricks. It is older (in parts) with more history, including the crypt of Strongbow, who conquered Dublin in 1170. Make sure to go down to the Crypt - there are some very impressive monuments down there, plus a view of the foundations holding up such a large building.... more
