Dublin is the largest city in Ireland, but the third smallest county of the 32 counties in Ireland.

Although Ireland is a Catholic country and Dublin is its capital, there is no Catholic Cathedral in Dublin.

The name Dublin comes from the two Irish words, Dubh Linn, meaning black pool.

The Irish name for Dublin is Áth Cliath.

Dubh Linn and Áth Cliath were two small settlements which grew to be come one place and eventually the modern city of Dublin, with both names surviving.

The largest walled park in Europe is in Dublin, called Phoenix Park.

The second highest obelisk in the world after the Washington monument, the Wellington Testimonial, is in Phoenix Park. The Wellington Testimonial is usually incorrectly referred to as the Wellington Monument

The tallest piece of sculpture in the world, the Monument of Light, more commonly called the Spire, is in Dublin.
