Kilmainham Gaol Key building in Ireland's history

Inchicore Road Kilmainham Dublin, Leinster +353 1 453 5984 http://www.heritageireland.ie/en/HistoricSites/DublinArea/KilmainhamGaolDublin/

Kilmainham Gaol is one of Ireland's most important buildings. It was designed in an attempt to improve the quality of the penal system, and in the belief that prisons should be hygienic and well-ventilated. It is also, however, a 'panopticon', emphasizing the importance of surveillance at all times, and as a result the Gaol earned itself a notorious reputation. Inmates included rebels from the Easter Rising in 1916; most notably Eamon de Valera, the last prisoner to be freed under the Free State, who went on to become President of Ireland. Guided tours provide the only access to the prison. An exhibition in the main hall and a video also outline the history of this controversial building. Admission is EUR5 for adults and EUR3 for children. Review © 2009, Wcities
