The Spire of Dublin

One of the easiest monuments to spot from afar, the Spire proudly stands 120 metres above ground, 3 metres in diameter at the base and 15 centimetres at its apex. On sunny days the completely stainless-steel structure is illuminated by the sun and at night the tip of the structure is lit up – a photo opportunity not to be missed.
