Dublin has some wonderful cathedrals. St.Patrick’s is one of the best known, but it’s not the oldest. That honor goes to Christ Church Catheral, which is in fact only a short stroll from St. Patrick’s. 

As well as being one of Ireland’s oldest buildings, Christ Church is also the repository for some amazing artifacts. Its exhibits include extremely old and rare books, gold items and other pieces of history.

The Cathedral was the first place Handel’s Messiah was ever performed and choral performances are to this day part of the cathedral’s annual events. If you’re in Dublin, you really should visit this fantastic, historic site.
