Dublin City Walk (Continued)

Here are couple of additional landmarks that I visited and photographed: Dublin Castle, Dublin City Hall (unfortunately did not enter as there is a wedding event), Christ Church Cathedral and Molly Malone Statue. 

Dublin Castle:  As you enter the courtyard, walked through a grand courtyard surrounded by buildings of various architectural styles, from medieval to Georgian. The courtyard is spacious, bustling with visitors.

Dublin Castle interiors: Record Tower (This is the oldest surviving part of the original medieval castle, dating back to the 13th century); State Apartments and Throne Room (you'll find the Throne Room, where the British monarchs' representatives once held court. The room is ornately decorated with chandeliers, rich tapestries); St. Patrick’s Hall (This is one of the most magnificent rooms in the castle, with a stunning painted ceiling that depicts scenes from Irish history. It’s used for state functions, including the inauguration of Irish presidents; Drawing Rooms (These opulent rooms are furnished with period pieces, including elegant sofas, fine art, and intricate chandeliers. They offer a glimpse into the lavish lifestyle of those who once inhabited the castle).
