About this event
“Obedientia Civium, Urbis Felicitas” Have you ever wondered what the words under the Three Castles Burning mean? Dublin has a long and rich criminal culture that goes all the way back to the vikings who first gave the city its modern name. If you have a love of history and gallows’ humour, then this is the tour for you!
On our two-hour walk we will explore crimes from Georgian to Modern Dublin, giving context for how criminality influenced the city’s history, and was itself shaped by that history in turn. From Tiger Kidnappings to Heart Heists, come and hear the tale of Dublin’s dark deeds…
Sat 8 / Sat 15 August at 4pm
