This bridge will give visitors to the site something extra

Published by Asya in Europe, Ireland, Monuments, Urban Tourism

OConnell_Bridge
O’Connel Street is the main street in Dublin. It is named after Daniel O’Connell (b. 1775 – d 1847), who is known as “the Liberator” for his work in liberating the Roman Catholics in Ireland. At the end of O’Connell St., near the O’Connell St Bridge, is a monument to O’Connell. Today O’Connell St is one of the busiest streets in Dublin, Ireland. The O’Connell Bridge in central Dublin, which spans the River Liffey just north of Trinity College, was designed and built by James Gandon around 1794. It was originally named after the then Viceroy, Lord Carlisle. After the unveiling of a statue in his honour, the bridge was renamed after Daniel O’Connell, first catholic Lord Mayor of Dublin, in approximately 1882.
