Full description
Journey back in time by almost 1,000 years as you enter Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin. Built circa 1028, the sacred monument is perfectly located in the heart of the city's medieval center and features a beautiful interior and the largest crypt in Ireland. Constructed in the early 12th century, and the oldest structure still in use in Dublin today, the crypt is home to some fascinating memorials and curiosities. Look at the treasury, and see the mummified cat and rat. According to cathedral lore, the cat chased the rat into the pipe of an organ and both became stuck. They are mentioned by James Joyce in "Finnegans Wake" and are known locally - with typical Dublin wit - as "Tom and Jerry." Follow in the footsteps of the pilgrims who beat a path to the church in the Middle Ages. Learn about the important collection of relics in the church. Admire the stained glass windows and medieval floor tiles of the nave.

Nous avons visité la Cathédrale Christ Church le vendredi 28 juillet 2023. Nous n'avons pas pris de guide. Le prix est raisonnable. Nous avons apprécié cette visite et nous la recommandons. Une remarque, la proposition d'un audioguide serait un plus pour la qualité de la visite.

Besides being a jewel /meaning the church itself and the crypt, to say nothing of t;he very, very nice people at both desks/entrance and down in the crypt, I was very lucky to visit it while a musical programme was on; just fascinated adniring the stained-glass pieces and the mosaics floor while listening to Gershwin and not just him. It's one of my most cherished memories.

if you want an excursion of about an hour, go to Christchurch, a self-guided visit is fine and there is really a lot to see inside. You can therefore also stay for a few hours. it is possible to arrange a guided visit, but then come at special times and pay an extra 4 euros per person
