St. Patrick's Cathedral - Detail of a statue of the pulpit. Built around St. Patrick's Well, whose waters the saint used to baptize the city's pagan inhabitants, St. Patrick's Cathedral is the larger of the two cathedrals. Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, is located on the east coast of Ireland, at the mouth of the River Liffey. Its most notable historic buildings are Dublin Castle, dating back to the 13th century, and the imposing St. Patrick's Cathedral, founded in 1191. The city's parks include the landscaped St. Stephen's Green and the enormous Phoenix Park, which houses Dublin Zoo. The National Museum of Ireland documents Ireland's cultural heritage.
