The Saint Patrick's Cathedral

Saint Patrick's Cathedral is located in the city center of dublin, also known as The National Cathedral and Collegiate Church of Saint Patrick, Dublin, or in the Irish language as Ard Eaglais Naomh Pádraig, founded in 1191, is the largest church in Ireland and one of Dublin's two Church of Ireland cathedrals. It has a 43-metre (140 feet) spire. Christ Church, the other cathedral, is the diocesan cathedral of the diocese of Dublin and Glendalough. Unusually, St Patrick's is not the seat of a bishop, the church has designated St Patrick's as the national cathedral for the whole island, drawing chapter members from each of the twelve dioceses of the Church of Ireland. The dean is usually for the cathedral; this office has existed since 1219. The most famous office holder was Jonathan Swift.
