As a place of extraordinary social, cultural, and historical significance, Glasnevin Cemetery has been at the heart of landmark moments in Ireland’s history such as the Easter Rising of 1916 that led to the nation’s independence. Beloved as a national treasure, the cemetery is unique as it was founded in 1832 in the Victorian garden style to stroll and reflect in a naturally beautiful parkland while remembering loved ones. Defined by both its beauty and its stories, Glasnevin Cemetery has truly earned the title of “Ireland’s National Cemetery.”
