About this place

St Audoen's Park preserves one of Dublin's finest medieval remnants: the city's only surviving medieval gate, St Audoen's Gate (1240), along with original stretches of the old city walls. The park also encompasses the medieval Church of St Audoen, which holds the status of National Monument. A worthwhile visit for those interested in Dublin's medieval heritage and what to see of the city's defensive fortifications.

The Lucky Stone, a late 9th-century stone slab housed within St. Audoen's Church and accessed via the adjoining park, has long been considered a harbinger of good fortune by visitors and locals alike. This notable artefact has featured prominently in Irish antiquarian collections and remains one of Dublin's more unusual historical attractions. Those interested in what to see in Dublin's historic quarter should visit this atmospheric church to view this distinctive medieval stone for themselves.

Saint Anne's Chapel Ruins

Saint Anne's Chapel Ruins

The ruins of Santa Ana Chapel represent a medieval extension to St. Audoen's Church in Dublin, now standing as a roofless relic. Built in the 15th century and attached to the main building, the chapel was constructed to accommodate the growing parish. Today, its bare walls stand as a silent testament to the church's period of prosperity. What to see here offers a glimpse into Dublin's medieval ecclesiastical architecture and the expansion pressures that shaped the city's religious landscape during the late Middle Ages.
