Ireland’s National Cemetery is the final resting place of over 1.5 million people, including a few names you may recognise…
Located in Dublin city, Glasnevin Cemetery is Ireland’s largest burial place, 124 acres of monuments, crypts, gravestones and other tributes to the dead. The cemetery is home to a who’s who of Ireland’s history, including Eamon DeValera, Michael Collins, Charles Stewart Parnell and Countess Markievicz. Legendary statesman Daniel O’Connell even has his own tower. The O’Connell Tower was erected in 1855 to commemorate the great man, who lies in a crypt beneath. Climb the 19th-century staircase for some of the best views over the surrounding city.
The inhabitants of Glasnevin Cemetery live on through their stories and there are a number of fascinating tours you can take, such as the Dead Interesting Tour, focused on lesser-known folks, and the Women in History tour that features some of the amazing women buried here. Don’t miss out on the Extra-ordinary Lives exhibition in the Visitor Centre either. It tells unique stories of a lion tamer killed by a lion, a woman who was buried twice and many others. Glasnevin Cemetery is also an exceptional resource for anyone tracing their family history with almost 200 years of burial records digitised and available to professional and amateur genealogists.
