Magical Murphy, the virtual tour guide, invites you to visit The Real Streets Of Dublin on a regular basis.
Dublin is an old city, steeped in history of a turbulent past. From ancient landmarks to modern representations, there is much to see and do in Dublin as regards times passed. Find out about the Vikings who founded Dublin and the wars that shaped it as it is now.
Dublin began life as two seperate settlements, "Atha Cliath" and "Dubh Linn". The modern name of the city is derived from these two names. "Dublin" is the internationally recognised name of the city and "Baile Atha Cliath" is the Irish translation.
The Vikings were the first settlers at Dublin and old reminants of their settlement have been found at Wood Quay in Dublin City Centre on the site of Dublin City Council's civic offices. If you are interested in the Vikings there is much more information available on the main web site. There is plenty of history ... the Normans, the Tudors, the British an d the more recent history of the independent Republic Of Ireland.
However, as there are more than 20,000 photographs available for you to see Magical Murphy devotes a lot of effort to keeping visitors up to date with events in the Dublin of today. Many exciting features, such as interactive maps and slide shows, are being added on a daily basis so no matter how often you visit there should be something new and interesting to see.
