Just next to the minarets, very old post offices are still in use, and visiting exhibitions requires tickets, but walking inside the post offices is free. The post office, an important landmark of Ireland's 1916 revolution, was the position of the Revolutionary Army and the government forces, and there was a large Lego building block model in the post office that showed the scene of the year.

Generally referred to as GPO. The Dublin General Post Office is located in the heart of Dublin and is one of Ireland's most famous buildings and the last George Dynasty-style building in Dublin.

    The Greek temple-like building, built in 1818 and rebuilt after several ruins, is still Dublin's largest and most important post office, open to the outside world. In addition to the general post office business, this post office can receive pensions, as well as banking, and locals come and go. There is also a courier business now, with DHL billboards. The Old Post Office in Dublin is the main attraction in the area and is a historical witness to Ireland, which has become a landmark in Ireland's struggle against colonialism and for independence. We went there to mark the 100th anniversary of the 1916 Easter Rising. The Easter Irish Rebels established their headquarters in the Old Post Office to declare Irish independence. Six days later, British colonialists suppressed and all 15 rebel leaders were killed. The Republic of Ireland was founded in April 1949. This old post office has a significant place in the Irish people. You can receive free postcards printed with old post office buildings at the old post office.

    Dublin's General Post Office is a very grand building, shaped like a Roman temple, with a sense of history. It also carries out ordinary mail operations, and there is also a section of the postal museum. It contains an introduction to the history of the development of the Irish Post, as well as some past issued stamps and commemorative coins, which are very precious and worth visiting.
