Merrion Square

Merrion Square

Merrion Square is located in the southern part of Dublin, the capital of Ireland. It is a Georgian-style square built in the 19th century and is considered one of the best-preserved squares in Dublin. It has become one of the most important and frequently visited public spaces for Dubliners.

The square is surrounded on three sides by red-brick Georgian houses, with Leinster House (home to the Irish Parliament), Government Buildings, the Natural History Museum, and the National Gallery of Ireland on its western side. In the center of the square lies a vibrant park, which is the most attractive feature for visitors, known as “Merrion Square Park.” The park features lush green lawns, blooming flowers, and a lively atmosphere.

Merrion Square is also well-known for its weekend arts market, held every Sunday afternoon. It is the only arts market in Dublin that remains open year-round on weekends. The market showcases works from over 200 artists and is the ideal place to appreciate fine art. Each year, it allows emerging artists to exhibit their latest works. If you have an eye for art, this rare market is not to be missed.
