This page has pictures of some of the architecture and sights around Dublin. Featured first is Christ Church, the oldest of the two medieval cathedrals in Dublin. The Cathedral was begun in 1038 and sits in the heart of the former medieval Dublin, Wood Quay.

Many of the other shots came from the Temple Bar Area. The area is cool with its narrow cobbled streets and layout that also follows the typical medieval pattern. The name "Temple Bar" probably came from the Temple family whom lived in the area or it might have been named after the Temple Bar Area in London. There are a lot of bars in the area, but that's not what its named for.

The towers of Christ Church nestled in the heart of the old town. The scale of the building isn't exactly clear here as the is spread over two blocks with a city street dividing it in half.
Here's a picture of the two main buildings of the cathedral and its grounds.
A close up of the brick and stone work that comprises most of the buildings in Dublin.
Statues adorning the roof of another church near the Cathedral. As you can imagine, there were a lot of churches in town!
   
The Book of Kells is one of Ireland's national treasures and sits in the Library of Trinity College in Dublin (pictured above).The manuscript is a masterpiece of calligraphy and art, patience, and a must-see stop in your visit to Dublin
Of course I couldn't take a picture of a manuscript dating back to 600 ad! This pict is downloaded from Wikipedia but is an example of some of the decorative text in the Book of Kells.
