Not many parts of Dublin where you can see a section of the old wall that used to protect the city. This section is from the Anglo-Norman times - when they arrived in Ireland, the Anglo-Normans pushed the Vikings to the other side of the Liffey (places like Stoneybatter) and they reinforced the defense wall. This was in the early 1170s.
Many things have changed since. But I love it that this bit of wall is still there, ignored by most.
I only drew a small portion of it. And it is quite thick!
