St Patrick's Cathedral
St. Patrick's Cathedral (St.Patrick'sCathedral), located on the west side of the south bank of the Liffey River in Dublin, was established in the very ancient origin of Christianity. In the fourth century AD, Patrick, a Christian, was canonized by the Irish for his outstanding missionary achievements, and it is said that he was baptized and converted to Christianity at an ancient well here. The bell tower on the west side of the church was completed in 1370 and still houses the largest bell in Ireland. The early St. Patrick's Cathedral was built in 450 and has been rebuilt several times to its present size. In 1181 AD, after King Henry II appointed John Comyn as the Archbishop of Dublin, he began to build St. Patrick's Cathedral one after another, which continued until the end of the 14th century. Today's church was rebuilt in the 19th century. In this church, in addition to the tombstones of the early Celts, there are also important figures in the history of the founding of Ireland, including the president of the Republic of Ireland. It can be said that St. Patrick's Cathedral is as important to the Irish nation as the United Kingdom. of Westminster Abbey.Dublin · 47 km from Kildare

Ireland is one of the birthplaces of world-famous horses, and the Irish National Stud Farm is the place where world-famous horses are produced. Each horse here has its own separate building and is raised by a separate person. All they have to do every day is to gallop freely on the vast grassland, or sleep and eat grass. It is really very free, and the treatment is better than that of humans.
