Merrion Square
Merrion Square, Dublin 2
The park of the privileged

Construction of Georgian houses at Merrion Square began in 1762. A fashionable address for the aristocracy, the park was purchased in 1930 as a site for a cathedral. The project never materialized and in 1974, it was transferred to the city for public use.

The park includes sculptures, the Rutland Memorial, a collection of old Dublin Lamp posts, a floral garden, a heather garden, a playground and a coffee stand.

Around the park are notable attractions including the National Gallery and the National Museum of Natural History.
