Fusiliers Arch
The Fusiliers' Arch is a granite, limestone and bronze memorial erected in 1907 at the entrance to St Stephen's Green from Grafton Street. It commemorates the officers, non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers who died fighting in the Second Boer War (1899–1902). Modelled on Rome's Arch of Titus, it measures approximately 8.5 metres wide and 10 metres high. The names of 222 fallen soldiers are inscribed inside the arch. What to see: the detailed bronze panels and stone inscriptions honouring Dublin's military heritage.
Fountain of the Three Fates
The Fountain of the Three Fates is a bronze sculpture depicting three hooded female figures in tunics, erected around 1956 on a roughly hewn granite block. It sits within a shallow circular basin edged with granite masonry in the south-east corner of the park, where several paved pathways converge near the main gates. What to see here is the striking sculpture and its austere setting, typical of mid-20th century Dublin public art.
Lord Ardilaun Statue
This bronze statue of Lord Ardilaun sits on the west side of St Stephen's Green, facing the Royal College of Surgeons. It commemorates Arthur Guinness, first Baron Ardilaun, who funded the redesign of the park and gifted it to the people of Dublin. Erected in 1892 through public subscription, the seated figure honours his considerable philanthropy. The monument remains one of Dublin's notable landmarks, a tribute to the generosity that transformed one of the city's finest public spaces.
Estatua de Theobald Wolfe Tone
The Wolfe Tone Monument is a commemorative sculpture erected in 1966 at the northeast corner of St Stephen's Green in Dublin, overlooking an open plaza bordered by public roads. Created jointly by sculptor Edward Delaney and architect Noel Keating, it honours Theobald Wolfe Tone (1763–1798), leader of the 1798 Irish Rebellion and founder of Irish republicanism. A significant historical landmark to visit when exploring the city's Georgian heart.
Constance Markievicz Bust
This bronze bust of Constance Markievicz stands on a square granite plinth in the central garden of St Stephen's Green. She's depicted in the uniform of the Irish Citizen Army, commemorating her role as a commander during the Easter Rising of 1916, which took place at this very location. It's worth a visit to see this tribute to a key figure in Irish independence.
Music Pavilion
The bandstand on St Stephen's Green is an octagonal cast-iron structure and one of Ireland's finest surviving examples of its kind. Listed on the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) as regionally important for its distinctive design and cultural significance, it closed to the public in 2021 due to structural issues. The Office of Public Works completed a careful restoration, reopening the bandstand on 14 December 2023. It's worth visiting to appreciate the Victorian engineering and the park's historic character.
