Description

To the right of St Patrick's Cathedral a narrow street runs in a curve to Marsh's Library, Dublin's oldest public library, founded by Archbishop Marsh and built in 1701 by Sir William Robinson. The facades were renewed in 1863-69, but the attractive interior has been preserved practically unchanged, including the "cages" in which readers of rare books were obliged to work under the eye of the custodian.
