Royal City of Dublin Hospital

There aren’t many buildings as spooky as this anywhere, add to this that it’s a hospital, and a war hospital too … brrrr … is it cold in here? … did you here that?
Yep, when I make a horror film with Nicole Kidman I’ll set it here. In fact, Rosemary’s Baby would’ve worked as well here as that spooky place in New York they found.
As a Dubliner you can be inclined not to mention buildings like this despite walking past them everyday. So, next time look up and check out the cool weathered copper look-​out tower and hope that you never get locked in during a storm.

The architecture is actually Flemish as are several surrounding buildings. The old nurses residence is now the dylan hotel.

This building is a beauty to look at it, an excellent example of Victorian architecture in the city. It’s striking red brick façade and high spires make it the most striking landmark on Upper Baggot street.
It was built in 1832 and part of it’s history involved treating wounded soldiers from the first World War. Nowadays it offers services for mental health, physiotherapy and addiction treatment.
Well worth the 15−20min walk from the top of Grafton street. It overlooks a gaggle of coffee shops, so you can enjoy a drink and admire the building. The canal is a stones throw away so afterwards you could take a potter down there.
