The National Library of Ireland, a grand 19th-century building in Dublin, houses over 12 million items, including ancient manuscripts. Its much-photographed rotunda and the airy Main Reading Room, with its domed stucco ceiling, are key attractions. The reading room, famously featured in James Joyce’s Ulysses, draws visitors who come to admire its architectural beauty. Today, guests can explore the library’s extensive collections and soak in the historical ambiance of this cultural landmark.
