Important building in Irish history

If you're walking along O'Connell Street in Dublin, you'll come across the magnificent Central Post Office, an important building in the history of Dublin. For example. it was one of the main targets of the Irish nationalists during the Easter Rebellion of 1916. Although the uprising failed, the subsequent British reprisals, including the execution of fifteen Irish nationalists, made Sinn Fein one of the dominant political forces in Ireland. The Central Post Office was the last of the great Georgian public buildings to be built in the capital. Construction was started in 1814 and was finally completed three years later.

The facade has an Ionic portico with six fluted columns, and the pediment has three statues by sculptor John Smyth: Mercury, Fidelity, and Hibernia in the center with a spear and harp. This huge neoclassical building later became the most important point for all kinds of protests, parades and memories of the struggle for Irish independence. You can still see the bullet holes in the huge Ionic pillars of the portico.
