The Black Church, or St. Mary's Chapel-of-Ease but it's no longer a church nowadays Note: It was built in 1830 to serve the Church of Ireland community, but it was closed-down in the 1960's because the number of people at the services had become too small. It's called the Black Church because it's made out of stones called "calp", and it looks specially dark after rain. There is also a very spooky urban legend behind it.

Garden of Remembrance Note: remembering the 1916 uprising? I don't really know. But the park's really nice and pretty. 🤣 [ CLICK ] Return to FEBRUARY 2018 list

The Spire Dublin Note: AKA the Monument of Light. There is a pattern around the base of that monument, and it is based on a core sample of rock formation taken from the ground where it stands and the DNA double helix. Historical significance? None at all. Basically, it's just a metal pole that looks like a giant pin and it lights up at dusk. You could say it's a replacement of the Nelson's Pillar* which was bombed by former IRA members in 1966, but other than that it's just... that . [ CLICK ] Return to MARCH 2018 list *Nelson's Pillar: after Vice Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson of the British Royal Navy. It was built in 1808 by leading members of the Anglo-Irish aristocracy in Dublin to commemorate Nelson and his achievements during the naval skirmish against the combined forces of France and Spain during the War of the Third Coalition of the Napoleonic Wars. Between 10-20% of the sailors at Trafalgar had been from Ireland.
