Four Courts

The magnificent Four Courts were built between 1786 and 1802, but they were tragically damaged in the Irish Civil War in 1922. Now restored, the courts have elaborate Corinthian columns and a beautiful massive dome. Four statues stand outside representing Moses, Justice, Mercy, Authority and Wisdom. The original courts of Common Pleas, Chancery, Exchequer, and King's Bench have now been replaced by the High Court, Supreme Court, and the district courts. The exterior is the most interesting part of the building. BUS: 25, 68, 78, 79, 151, 172. LUAS: Four Courts.
