Every time I enter the GPO, I am stepping back into history and the terrible sacrifice that the symbolic defenders made to declare the unrelenting desire of the Irish people to be fully independent again.

The GPO is an iconic building both for it's role in Irish history and it's spectacular architecture. I visited it specifically to see the Irish Republic Declaration that was made here in the 1916 Easter Rising. To me this is where the Republic of Ireland began.

The building is on a historical location. Inside you see a beautiful interior. There is a Post Museum where you have to pay an entrance fee. Next to it you have a chance to buy some stamps.

Still used as the main mail office in Dublin & also the head quarters. Wouldnt be the first place to spring to mind in Dublin to visit but there is some interesting history linked to it.

Old style serving counters---statue in the centre---bullet holes in the outside walls---separate parcel area---philately dept.and museum and beautiful christmas decorations.

This is a spectacular building on O' Connell street. I would not recommend heading in here to do any postal jobs as it can get very busy but its lovely to head in a have a good look around
