Trinity College

Trinity College was founded in 1592 just before the English Tudor monarchy had completed the task of extending its rule over the whole of Ireland. Despite its 16th-century foundation, most of Trinity’s buildings that you see today were constructed in the 18th and early 19th centuries. Trinity is located on College Green, opposite the former Irish Houses of Parliament. Trinity College continues to build on its four-hundred-year-old tradition of scholarship to confirm its position as one of the great universities of the world.
