St Patrick's Cathedral

Built in honor of Ireland's patron saint, Saint Patrick, Saint Patrick's Cathedral is located right next to the well-known spring where, according to tradition, Saint Patrick baptized converts during his visit to Dublin. The parish church of Saint Patrick was made a collegiate church in 1191 and a cathedral in 1224. The current building has existed since 1220 and is the state cathedral of the Church of Ireland (a church of the Anglican Church). St. Patrick's Cathedral is built in the Gothic style and its magnificent interior is decorated with funerary monuments such as that of the Boyle family and the tomb of the dean Jonathan Swift (author of Gulliver's Travels). Swift was dean of St Patrick's Cathedral until his death in 1745. The chancel is decorated with ornate windows and spectacular choir stalls, once used by the Knights of St Patrick. In the huge west towers there are large bells, whose sound is part of the cityscape of Dublin.
