Dublin was established as a Viking settlement in the early Middle
Ages and, following the Norman Invasion of Ireland, rapidly grew in
size and importance to become a major city. Following the English
conquest of Ireland in the sixteenth century, Dublin continued to
develop as a centre of trade, and its growing prosperity into the
eighteenth century is demonstrated by the city's rich Georgian
architectural legacy, which still forms an important part of
Dublin's character today. Following independence in 1922, Dublin
became the capital city of Ireland and although the fabric of the
city centre suffered during the 1916 Easter Rising, the Irish War
of Independence and the subsequent Civil War, it has been at the
forefront of the country's economic expansion in recent decades.
Today, Dublin has many significant modern buildings standing
alongside its more historical architectural legacy. Dublin in 50
Buildings explores the history of this fascinating city through a
selection of its most interesting buildings, including the Norman
Dublin Castle, the Georgian Customs House by the River Liffey, the
twentieth-century Guinness Storehouse, along with buildings that
may not be as well known but are equally interesting.
