Details of "Kilmainham Gaol - Ireland"Date Submitted:
08/22/2007
Description:
Kilmainham, Dublin County
Ireland
Kilmainham Gaol is believed to be the largest unused prisons in Europe. It was here that the rebels of the last 150 years of British rule were held and it was here that the leaders of the 1916 Rising were executed. No other single event propelled Ireland to independence. The Gaol was much neglected since Eamon De Valera left it as the last prisoner in 1924 and although it has undergone much renovation since the terrible character of the place is undiminished.
