Photos of The Spire

The Dublin Spire is a monument in Dublin, the capital of Ireland, also known as the Monument of Light. It replaced Nelson's Column, which was bombed by the Irish Republican Army in 1966, and was inaugurated in 2003. The Dublin Spire symbolizes the rebirth of O'Connell Street. It was designed by the well-known British architect Ian Ritchie. The concept of the design is to "connect the bridge between art and technology with an elegant and energetic sense of simplicity". The entire minaret is 120 meters high and is currently the highest outdoor sculpture in the world. Looking from a distance, the light and shadow reflect on the stainless steel tower, full of focus and beauty.
