The Old City Walls of Dublin

Wall for Old Dublin City

One day, on the way to the Brazen Head, I took an alternate route and stumbled across this site. It is the Dublin City Wall and Gate from 1240 AD.

Two things occurred to me. First, that Dublin was not much bigger than it had been back then. Second, there are some many old things in Europe as compared to the United States.

It very often is staggered in between something new as well. You see a new office building next to ruins that are hundreds of years old. Awesome
