Being located in the heart of Dublin city, the Merrion square in Dublin is surrounded by Georgian redbrick houses from three different sides with the fourth one being the side where the government buildings, the Natural History Museum, Leinster House, and the National Gallery of Ireland are located.
The Merrion square is not only a Georgian famous place in Dublin because of the way it was built in the old days and who were the people living in it, but it is also considered different because of the national cultural institutions that are found there, which include the National Art Gallery of Ireland and the Archaeological and National History sections of the National Museum of Ireland.
At the same time, there are some cultural organizations that happen to be placed in the Merrion square along with art studios, media companies, and other creative businesses that only show how important this square is perceived when it comes to its location along with the history that it carries.
Actually, we have to say that the Merrion Square is one of the places to pass by when it comes to visiting Dublin city in Ireland because it is not only a wealthy area where different governmental buildings, organizations, and businesses are placed, but it is also a place where some statues are found inside the garden related to those famous figures who used to live in this square, such as Oscar Wilde, the famous poet, novelist, and satirist who have a statue that faces his childhood home, no.1 Merrion square where he resided from 1855 to 1876. Not only Oscar Wilde has a statue inside the garden of Merrion square, but there are other famous figures to have their places such as Daniel O'Connell and William Butler Yeats, as well as others.
When the Merrion square is mentioned, the first thing to consider is the park or garden that is placed in the center of this square and which is where the people could come visit and enjoy their times, it it also the place where the statues are found and where Brian King, the revered Dublin artist designed the "I'm High Pyramid" in the square as a remembrance for Ireland's military dead, this structure that rests on a steel frame and is made of granite slabs with thickened glass panels contains figures representing members of the Defense Forces and Army Personnel.
There were actually several other statues which we came across inside the garden in Merrion square, such as the sculpture of Andrew O'Conner which is named "The Victims", which was part of the war memorial for Washington DC.
The importance of this place does not only appear from those famous figures who used to live in or even the sculptures and statues which are found inside the garden, but it could be also seen from those embassies that happen to be situated in Merrion square.
Looking back into the reasons behind the appearance of this square, we found out that this Georgian square appeared when the Earl of Kildare chose to build his Dublin home in this part of the city's south and then constructed the Leinster House which is the second largest residence building in Dublin, which led to the appearance of three other residential areas, and one of them was the Merrion square.
The interesting thing about this place is that back then, it only allowed those living in the area to enter the garden and they even had their special keys, but now it is an open garden which all the people are allowed to come inside, walk through, and even sit there by any of the benches to enjoy the good weather and the green areas surrounding them.
