Christ Church Cathedral

Impressive medieval cathedral that includes a crypt inside

Description of the place

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity Christ Church Cathedral, founded in 1030, is Dublin's oldest cathedral and one of the city's medieval gems. Its imposing Gothic architecture and ancient history make it a must-see.

One of its greatest treasures is underground: a 12th-century underground crypt, believed to be the oldest building in use in Ireland. It houses religious relics, historical treasures and exhibitions on the history of the church in Dublin.

Curiosity: The most photographed corner of the crypt is a display case with Tom and Jerry, a cat and a mouse that were accidentally mummified and became one of the most unusual attractions in the place.

Un muy buen plan puede ser visitar el combo Catedral de Cristo + Dublinia que es el museo de los vikingos, ambos están comunicados por un puente!
