The Dean and Chapter of Christ Church Cathedral welcome visitors to Dublin's oldest building - the mother church of the dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough in the Church of Ireland.
The Cathedral was founded in the year c.1030 by Sitriuc, King of the Dublin Norsemen.
Christ Church Cathedral is one of Dublin's oldest and most recognised landmarks.
Dating back to the eleventh century, the Cathedral and the exhibition "Treasures of Christ Church" reflect 1000 years of history, architecture and worship in Ireland.
The choral services are sung by the Cathedral choir, which traces its origins to the choir school founded in 1480 and is famous for the taking part in the first performance of Handel's Messiah.
Treasures of Christ Church displays a unique range of manuscripts, historic artefacts and spectacular examples of gold and silverware.
Christ Church Cathedral holds a series of concerts, recitals and talks every year.
