The General Post Office easily finds a place in the “Top ten sights of the Dublin City” and is a must –see if you are lucky enough to get to Ireland and its capital city. This classical edifice which towers the city’s main thoroughfare symbolizes many a thing. And probably that was one of the main reasons why this iconic symbol (which reminds one of the failed Easter rising of 1916) was lovingly renovated and brought back to its former glory.

The building is also home to the fabled Cuchullain statue. What makes one sad is the loss of the missing paintings illustrating the events which happened way back in the year 1916. Another interesting fact about the General Post Office Dublin is that it was the last among the Georgian public building to be built in the capital.

If you fancy the idea of collecting memorial stamps as a souvenir you can very well pay a visit to the Philatelic Office nearby the place.
