The former prison is the largest of its kind in all of Europe. Its history is linked to Ireland's quest for independence from Britain: Kilmainham Gaol was not used as a prison from 1924, 2 years after the establishment of the Irish Free State. In the courtyard is a monument to opposition members executed in prison here after the Easter Rising of 1916.Window of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin | Pixabay
