Cheers TH. I just asked because I remember you talking about the Angel of the North, Tower Bridge and the Palace of Westminster in that landmark thread where the Grand Canyon was very popular.

Thought you'd be the guy to show us some of Dublin's architectural big hitters

An obvious one for me is the Aviva Stadium which I love.

I'm guessing this was intentional. Croke Park is the same.

Don't ask the Irish about architecture, at least in this century. Look at this monstrosity that's in the centre of our main street.

Since I can’t see anything I’m going to assume it’s a picture of your dick.

There's more to Ireland than that

Ireland has castles.

Skara Brae. Over 5,000 years old.

Pretty cool imo.

Why thank you, but mine is not quite that big.
Also, get your eyes checked: it's right in the middle of the picture. They call it the Spire. We call it Bertie's Finger (Bertie Ahern being our Taoiseach/PM at the time...)

Edit: I never noticed it at the time, but the way the picture is framed it's like Daniel O'Connell is saying "Look at this! Look what they did! I helped free Ireland, and they put this ****ing huge ***** up in front of me!"
