Dublin Churches and Places of Worship

Dublin’s religious landscape features architectural landmarks ranging from the Neoclassical Saint Mary's Pro-Cathedral to the Gothic Revival "Black Church." The collection includes active sites of worship like the Carmelite Whitefriar Street Church, which houses the relics of Saint Valentine, and the Jesuit Church of St Francis Xavier. It also highlights adaptive reuse, such as the 18th-century St Mary’s Church, now a restaurant and bar. These sites document the city's history, from the 12th-century foundations of St Werburgh's to the 19th-century Presbyterian heritage of Abbey Church.
