Archaeological & Heritage Sites

This collection spans over 5,000 years of history across Eastern Ireland, centered on the UNESCO World Heritage site of Brú na Bóinne. It features Neolithic passage tombs like Newgrange and Knowth, renowned for their astronomical alignments and megalithic art. The selection also includes medieval strongholds such as Trim Castle and Dublin Castle, alongside the 18th-century Kilmainham Gaol. From the Cistercian ruins of Bective Abbey to the prehistoric Proleek Dolmen and the limestone formations of Dunmore Caves, these sites document the region's architectural and cultural evolution.
