General Post Office
Histórico edificio donde se inició la rebelión de Pascua de 1916 y se proclamó la independencia.
Description of the place
The Dublin Central Post Office (GPO) is one of the city's most iconic buildings. Located on O'Connell Street, it opened in 1818 and stands out for its imposing neoclassical style.
But what really makes it special is its history: it was the rebel headquarters during the Easter Rising of 1916, one of the most important events in the fight for Irish independence.
Today, it still operates as a post office and also houses the Interactive Museum GPO Witness History.
🧐 Fun fact: If you look closely at the front columns, you'll see bullet holes still visible from that confrontation.

Author's opinion
Un edificio cargado de simbolismo principalmente por los acontecimientos de pascuas de 1916. El recorrido por el museo histórico está muy buen detallado, me encantó. Narra claramente los acontecimientos ocurridos durante la semana de pascuas de 1916.
