Government Buildings
The domed Edwardian complex on Merrion Street is the working center of Irish government and a strong exterior stop on a civic walk.
Why go
Government Buildings illustrates how monumental architecture was adapted from imperial administration to the modern Irish state. The pale stone façade, dome and axial approach are easy to compare with nearby Leinster House and the National Gallery. Interior access is limited.
What to look for
The central dome above the Merrion Street entrance
Sculptural details across the long stone façade
Useful to know
Plan on an exterior view unless an official tour is announced
Combine it with Merrion Square and nearby national institutions
