Dublin - General Post Office

On the west side of Dublin's O'Connell Street stands the imposing General Post Office (by Francis Johnston, 1815-17), which in 1916 became the headquarters of the rebels under the leadership of Patrick Pearse and James Connolly. The Irish patriots are commemorated in the main hall ("Death of CuChulainn").

In Henry Street, round the corner, is the philatelic counter, and farther north, at 14 Upper O'Connell Street, the Tourist Information Office.
