TCD Chapel
Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth. It was not until the 1970's that Catholics started entering the university, as they were banned by the archbishop. Among many famous students to attend the college were playwrights Oliver Goldsmith and Samuel Beckett. Trinity's lawns and cobbled quads provide a pleasant haven in the heart of the city. The major attractions are the Old Library and the Book of Kells, housed in the Treasury. The top picture is of the College Chapel; the lower picture features the Campanile, and the building in the left of that picture is known as the GMB or Graduate Memorial Building. | |||
