Former Irish Houses of Parliament

Why go

This building anchors College Green with an unusually broad classical composition. Its history traces the independent Irish parliament abolished by the Act of Union, while the missing House of Commons chamber shaped later banking use. Exterior viewing is the reliable experience.

What to look for

• The sweeping colonnade curving around College Green
• The former House of Lords chamber preserved inside

Useful to know

• View from the Trinity side while watching traffic
• Ask onsite about access rather than assuming the chamber is open
