ATTRACTIONS:

Walking Tour of Carlow Town

1 Carlow Courthouse at the end of Dublin Street is where our tour begins. Considered to be one of the finest courthouses in the country it was designed by William Vitruvius Morrison in 1830. The Courthouse, based on the Temple of Llissus in Athens, gives the impression of a temple set on a high plinth, but this obscures the fact that the basement is a maze of cells and dungeons. A cannon from the Crimean War stands on the steps.
Walk south-east down College Street to St. Patrick's College.
