Georgian Dublin — Merrion Square & the Georgian Architecture

Georgian Dublin (the architectural legacy of the 18th century, when Dublin was the second city of the British Empire and one of the wealthiest and most elegant cities in Europe): the Georgian squares of Dublin (Merrion Square, Fitzwilliam Square, St. Stephen's Green, Parnell Square) represent the finest and most coherent Georgian townscape in the world — the characteristic Dublin Georgian terrace (red-brick, doorways with fanlight windows and elaborate plasterwork porticos, cast-iron railings, window boxes, and the distinctive Dublin door (the brightly coloured front doors — each house's door painted a different colour — that have become the defining visual symbol of Dublin)) is a UNESCO-potential landscape.
