Dublin Things to Do

Fittingly, Ireland’s greatest national treasure is a book. No wonder the country loves its writers so much. Although the Book of Kells is not so much about the writing – if you know what I mean, because it contains four gospels of the New Testament (Matthew, Mark, Luke and part of John) which we can of course read elsewhere, though perhaps not in Latin. No, what makes the Book of Kells so incredible are the illuminations.
