St Patrick's Cathedral

Saint Patrick’s Cathedral has been part of Ireland’s story for over 800 years. In honour of Ireland’s patron saint, it offers a rich cultural and spiritual experience, built on the site where Saint Patrick is said to have baptised early Christian converts 1500 years ago. It is the National Cathedral of the Church of Ireland, and the largest in the country. Jonathan Swift, author of Gulliver’s Travels, served as Dean of the cathedral in the 1700s and is buried here. The phrase “to chance your arm” originated within its walls. The world famous choir, founded in 1432, still performs daily during school term. Visitors can explore the cathedral through guided or self guided tours available every day.
