Description of the place

James Joyce is one of Ireland's most famous writers and a key figure in 20th-century literature. Although he lived abroad for many years, his hometown, Dublin, was the central focus of his works.

One of his best-known books, Ulysses, takes place entirely in a single day on the streets of Dublin. Its cultural impact is such that every June 16th, "Bloomsday" is celebrated, a day where fans from around the world dress up as the characters and tour the same locations featured in the novel.

In front of you is the statue of James Joyce, right where the trail begins. An ideal spot to connect with the city's literary history.
