The massive, classical Post Office on O’Connell St is significant for more than its architecture. It is also the sight of the failed 1916 Easter Rising. At this building, Patrick Pearse declared the short-lived Irish Republic. A few days later, only ruins were left. The building has been lovingly restored to reflect its former glory. If you look carefully, bullet holes can still be seen in portions of the buildings exterior.
