Eine eindrucksvolle Bronzestatue vor einem lebendigen Himmel. Die Patina und die Spuren der Witterung erzählen von Jahrzehnten im Freien und verleihen der Skulptur einen einzigartigen Charakter. Der Blick nach oben und die Perspektive unterstreichen ihre Präsenz und erinnern daran, wie Denkmäler Geschichte, Kunst und Erinnerung miteinander verbinden.
Established in 1798 and purchased by Wicklow-native Davy Byrne in 1889, Davy Byrnes on 21 Duke Street is a legendary Dublin institution. It is best known for being the setting of Leopold Bloom’s famous Gorgonzola sandwich and burgundy lunch in James Joyce's “Ulysses”.
In 1942, the pub was sold to the Doran family, who still run it. The 1940s refurbishment gave the pub its distinct Parisian Art Deco style, featuring frescoes by Cecil French Salkeld.
Archer's Garage, located at the corner of Fenian Street and Sandwith Street Upper, is Dublin's most famous Art Deco building. Designed by architect Arnold Francis Hendy, it opened in 1949 for Richard Archer, Ireland's first Ford motor car agent.
It was historically groundbreaking as Ireland's first building made with reinforced concrete and fluorescent lighting. The original structure featured a striking curved corner tower, projecting fins, and a flagpole.
In a notorious 1999 incident during the Celtic Tiger (the period of rapid economic growth in Ireland from 1995 to 2007), developers illegally demolished the protected Grade 1 structure on a June bank holiday weekend. Following a massive public outcry, Dublin City Council forced the developer to reconstruct the building. The faithful replica we see today was completed in 2004.
