Founded c.1030 Christ Church Cathedral is located in the former heart of medieval Dublin and is officially claimed as the seat of both the Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic archbishops of Dublin. Its 12th century crypt is Dublin’s oldest structure and the cathedral is famous for being the last resting place of Strongbow, leader of the Anglo-Normans who captured Dublin in 1170. You can arrange a guided tour of the tower of Christ Church Cathedral, which includes a chance to ring the bells, maintaining a tradition that goes back centuries.
