5/5
One of the biggest gaols in Europe with one of the most tragic history. As I am very interested in Irish history it is a must see. Kilmainham Gaol dates from the 18th century. A lot of rebels in the struggle for Irish independence have been prisoned here and/or have been executed. James Connolly was executed in Kilmainham Gaol after the failure of the Easter Rising 1916, sitting on a chair while heavenly wounded.The tour is surprising and impressing. You feel and see the atmosphere where the prisoners have lived in. The building is easy to access as well for disabled people and there are a lot of buses going from Dublin city centre to the gaol. The visit include a guided tour and an exhibition. There is a tearoom and a giftshop.

    It's very distinctive. It's worth visiting. There's a commentator. The explanation is very detailed. It's about an hour and a half. You can understand some of Ireland's past, prison depression feeling is still very strong, you can go to see

    The prison is 3.5 kilometers away from the center of Dublin. Friends interested in Irish history can choose to visit it. The prison has the taste of an Irish patriotic education base.

    History shows that prisons during the Great Revolution were full of severe and horrible feelings.
