Dublin – the biggest city and capital of Ireland. It is a city of great importance. It is located in the province of Leicester. It is located on the mouth of the Loughey River, which flows into the Irish Sea in the Gulf of Jubilee. The population of Durban is nearly half a million people. It is the cultural, economic, political and educational center of Ireland. Historic documents and chronicles date back to 140 AD. They say that the site of the present Dobyllyn was a village of Celtics and a monastery. But the city itself was laid down by the Scandinavians much later, around 841 A.D. Then in 903 local tribes drove the Vikings off the island, but they returned in 917. In 1014, the Celtic king Brienne Boreu defeated the Vikings at Calontarraf. This led the Viking kings to seek other ways to stay on the island, which led to a policy of alliances and peace with the local Celtic tribes.
After the British invaded the island in 1169, DUBLIN became the stronghold of Anglican rule. And in 1171 Henry II proclaims Dobylin the Kings city. In the history of the citys further history, it was the rejection of the native population, who decided to move to the other side of the river and build the town of Occidental. The Parliament of Ireland is located in DUBLIN, made up exclusively of representatives of the English nobility who live in DUBLIN, and the government occupies DUBLIN CASTLE.
In 1348, DUBLIN begins the epidemic of the Black Death – «Black Death» in DUBLIN. To this day, the surviving memorials of the victims of the epidemic are called Blackpitts. The outbreaks of the disease lasted until 1649. During that time the population of the city was greatly reduced due to the constant conflicts, hardships, and wars. As Englands interest in the region diminished, so did the struggle for the power of the local kings. This led to England being forced to bring in troops to bring peace to Ireland. In addition to the struggle over spheres of influence, religion was a fertile ground for revolution. The indigenous Irish are mostly Catholics, while the English are Protestants. In 1592, by decree of Elizabeth I, Trinity College was founded in Dáublin, but the wealthy clans of Dáublin refused to send their children to this Protestant university and sent them to the Matériques, to the Catholics. When the rebellion broke out in Ireland in 1642, the Protestants overran DUBLIN, and the Catholics were driven out of the city. In 1646 and 49 during the Federal War the city was sacked twice, but it was not successful. Later, when Cromwell conquered Ireland in 1650, the Catholics were forbidden to settle in the city limits. At the end of the 17th century, DUBLIN was the capital of Ireland, where the majority of its inhabitants are still protesters.
Here are some important monuments in DUBLIN: the Cathedral of Christ, the Cathedral of St. Patrick and the Church of St. Auden.
The Cathedral of Christ, founded in 1031, is now the main cathedral of Doblin and one of the most remembered monuments of the Middle Ages. In the 19th century the cathedral was rebuilt with funds donated by Henry the Magnate, owner of several distilleries.
The Cathedral of Saint Patrick is the largest cathedral in Ireland. The exact date of its construction is not known, but historical records show that in 1192 it was given the status of a free church. The cathedral is not subordinate to the authority of the bishop. It is headed by a deacon, the most famous of whom was the author of Gulliver, St. Johnathan Swift. Saint Patricks Cathedral has a rich and not always happy history. Over the past century, it has suffered from floods. Its property was transferred to other churches, and the buildings were used as a school and courthouse. However, in 1860-65 it was renovated with funds from the famous Irish brewer Benjamin Genesse.
The main street of Durban is OKonnol Street, a mixture of different eras and styles due to the many destruction and renovations it has undergone in the present day. One of the oldest places to live – the streets surrounding the Temple Bar, which has a large number of pubs, restaurants and fashionable boutiques.
Another landmark of the city is the 61-meter long pavilion in honor of the George of Wales. Also of interest is the place where the famous dinners and duels were held – the Square of the Fifteen Acres ».
Visiting Dáublin, it is worthwhile to see the lifelike rendition of the English king of Ireland, built in the 18th century – the Bleacrocook House. And one cant help but be fascinated by the DUBLIN CITY, which was the seat of the British administration from the 12th century to the early 20th. And in the castle, the Bury Library boasts a unique collection of ancient documents: Islamic manuscripts and papyrus, Japanese, Chinese, Indian and other Oriental art objects, as well as the documents in the Buryatian Museum.
