Audio tour · Christ Church Cathedral

2:10

You're standing at Christ Church Cathedral, formally the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. It's the older of Dublin's two medieval cathedrals. Once it stood in a maze of narrow streets at the heart of the medieval city. Most of those made way for wide roads and offices, so the cathedral now looks rather on its own.
