St. Patrick's Cathedral has stood on this spot since the 13th century, but has been rebuilt many times. In 1864 the Guinness family forked out a fortune to save St. Pat's from collapse. Jonathan Swift (Gulliver's Travels) was Dean here and is buried in the Cathedral, but we didn't get inside as it cost too much...since when does going to church cost money?
