Monument of Light (Spire)

120-meter stainless steel sculpture in the heart of Dublin.

Description of the place

The Monument of Light (or The Spire) It is a 120-meter-high stainless steel spire that has become a true icon of Dublin. Inaugurated in 2003, it symbolizes the city's urban renewal. At night, the tip of the monument is illuminated, and the Irish often joke that it is actually “a beacon to guide drunks”.
Its minimalist design contrasts with the historic architecture that surrounds it, making it a key landmark for locals and tourists alike.
