St Patrick's is one of two Anglican cathedrals in Dublin. It is built on the site where St Patrick is said to have baptised converts to Christianity. St Patrick's Cathedral, in its present state, was constructed in 1192, replacing an original wooden chapel.

The main attractions in St Patrick's are the tombs of Jonathan Swift and his lover in the nave. The cathedral also contains the longest medieval nave in Ireland, and a stone slab, engraved with a Celtic cross, that covers the well from which St Patrick baptised the converts. The adjoining garden is a welcome oasis in this densely built-up district of the city.
