It is also flushed with history and Dublin Castle, built in 1204, is rich in Irish heritage, whereas 21st century architecture, such as Ian Ritchie's Monument of Light, offers a more contemporary vibe. Temple Bar is commonly known as the Cultural Quarter, brimming with street performers, music venues and cosy Irish pubs full to bursting. Here, you will also find good restaurants, many bars and pubs and traditional Irish folk music. The Guinness Storehouse remains a popular tourist attraction and details the company's history, recipes and advertising campaigns.
