Rundturm von Timahoe

Der Rundturm von Timahoe ist einer der am besten erhaltenen Rundtürme Irlands. Das auch heute noch in einem hervorragenden Zustand befindliche Bauwerk stammt aus der Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts. Es steht in Timahoe (irisch Tigh Mochua, „Haus Mochuas“) im County Laois. Der Turm ist auf dem Gelände eines Klosters errichtet, das der Überlieferung nach im frühen 7. Jahrhundert von St. Mochua mac Lónáin gegründet wurde. George Petrie (1790–1866) beschrieb ihn als Besten seiner Art in Irland. Vergleiche mit der nahegelegenen Kirche von Killeshin machen es wahrscheinlich, dass beide durch die gleiche Werkstatt gestaltet wurden. Der Turm ist 29,3 m hoch. Es gibt drei Verdickungen an der Basis. Oberhalb dieses Versatzes beträgt der Umfang etwa 17,5 m, bei einem Durchmesser von etwas über 5,5 m. Die portalartig gestaltete Tür liegt 4,9 m über dem Boden. Bis knapp unter die Türöffnung ist der Turm aus Sandstein errichtet, darüber aus Kalkstein. Er hat eine Neigung nach Nordwesten. Dem Rundturm wurde im 19. Jahrhundert ein neues Dach aufgesetzt. Das skulptierte irisch-romanische Portal ist in dieser Art einmalig. Nahezu einzigartig für Rundtürme sind die Steinmetzarbeiten, die sich in vier Reihen an die Säulen und den Bogen des Portals schmiegen. Die Kapitelle schmücken menschliche Gesichter. Die hoch über dem Boden liegenden Eingänge sind typisch für irische Rundtürme. Oberhalb der Türöffnung befinden sich in den nachfolgenden Stockwerken drei Fenster, die sich um den Turm drehen. Das nächsthöhere hat im Inneren ebenfalls Verzierungen und ist nach außen rechteckig mit einem spitzen Abschluss. Danach kommen ein rein rechteckiges und danach ein kleineres quadratisches Fenster. Die bei Rundtürmen fast immer üblichen vier Fenster unterhalb des konischen Daches sind wiederum rechteckig mit einem spitzwinkligen Abschluss.

Boyne River Bridge

De Boyne River Bridge is een tuibrug in Ierland. De brug overspant de rivier Boyne, 3 kilometer ten westen van de stad Drogheda op de grens tussen de graafschappen Meath en Louth. Het is een onderdeel van de autosnelweg M1. Tot 2009, voor de opening van de River Suir Bridge in de N25, was het de langste tuibrug van Ierland. Vanwege mogelijke nadelen voor het milieu werd een aparte milieueffectrapportage gehouden voor de brug, naast die van de M1. Dit was de eerste officiële milieueffectrapportage voor een brug. In 2006 won de brug de civiele versie van de Excellence Award van de Vereniging van Raadgevende Ingenieurs van Ierland (Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland). De brug werd gebouwd van en to 2003 en werd ontworpen Roughan en O’Donovan, die in 2005 de ACEI Presidential Award wonnen voor het ontwerp.
Most Mary McAleese prek doline reke Boyne

Most Mary McAleese prek doline reke Boyne je most pri kraju Droichead Átha na meji med grofijama Meath in Louth na Irskem . Razteza se čez dolino reke Boyne 3 km zahodno od mesta Drogheda in je del severne avtoceste M1. Ko so ga junija 2003 odprli, je bil do 19. oktobra 2009 najdaljši most na Irskem, ko so odprli most na reki Suir na cesti N25. Zaradi okoljskih vprašanj je bila za most izvedena študija o vplivu na okolje (Environmental Impact Statement − EIS) ločeno od M1 EIS − prvega takega uradnega EIS, ki je bil izveden in objavljen za most na Irskem. Most so gradili od leta 2000 do 2003 in sta ga zasnovala Roughan in O'Donovan, ki sta leta 2005 prejela nagrado ACEI za oblikovanje. Opis Oblikovanje cestnega mostu čez reko Boyne ni bila lahka naloga. Na izbrani točki, 3 km v smeri proti Droghedi, je višina tal na jugu zvišana z nenadnim dvigom, medtem ko se severna obala postopoma spušča do reke. Območje je občutljivo na okolje, zlasti trstiščje na severnem bregu ter rastlinstvo in živalstvo na Rumenem otoku (Yellow Island) sredi reke. Območje ima bogato dediščino, saj je tudi v bližini območja, na katerem je bila bitka pri reki Boyne leta 1690. Odgovor je bil most s poševnimi zategami. Čeprav je bil s 35 milijonov EUR dražji od standardnega cestnega mostu, je vključeval precej daljši glavni razpon brez potrebe po podpori v reki, tako so inženirji lahko zaščitili reko in otok pred kakršnimi koli motnjami. Videti je privlačen z visokim pilonom na južni strani in kabli iz njega, ki podpirajo glavno strukturo. Most je dolg 352 m in se nad vodo dviga 20 m. Podprt je z visokim pilonom v obliki črke Y v višini 95 m, ki je sidrišče 56 kablov, ki nosijo mostno konstrukcijo. Glavni razpon je 170 m s štirimi stranskimi razponi na severni obali in enim na južni. Ti se razlikujejo po dolžini od 25 m do 45 m, kar daje mostu skupno dolžino 352,5 m. Armiranobetonski in jekleni kompozitni krov je širok 34,5 m in ima dva prometna pasova v obe smeri. Arhitekturna svetlobna shema osvetljuje most ponoči, zaradi česar je ena od zelo prepoznavnih struktur v državi. Gradnjo so izvedli Cleveland Bridge U.K. Ltd. in Richard Hornby in Bruce Ramsay iz Cleveland Bridgea. Most je prvi most na svetu, izdelan z uporabo metode narivanja (incremental launching method − ILM) za napredovanje nadgradnje. Gradnja se je začela maja 2000 in most je začel 9. junija 2003. Most upravljajo v okviru javno-zasebnega partnerstva med nacionalnim organom za ceste v imenu irske vlade in zasebnim podjetjem Celtic Roads Group. Koncesijska družba mora vzdrževati cesto 30 let. Most in avtocesta sta cestninjena v obe smeri zaradi financiranja gradnje in vzdrževanja. Leta 2006 je bil Združenje inšpektorjev za svetovanje Irske nagradil z nagrado odličnosti (Civil). Ime Oktobra 2012 je okrožni svet Meatha predlagal, da se most na reki Boyne imenuje po nekdanji predsednici Irske Mary McAleese in se s tem spoštuje njen prispevek k mirovnemu procesu v Severni Irski. 8. junija 2013 je bila ob preimenovanju mostu slovesnost.

Zoo di Dublino

Lo zoo di Dublino (in irlandese: Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath) è il più grande giardino zoologico dell'Irlanda e una delle principali attrazioni di Dublino. È stato costruito nel 1830 ed è il quarto zoo scientifico del Mondo dopo lo zoo di Vienna, il London Zoo e il Jardin des Plantes di Parigi. Lo zoo occupa 28 ettari di Phoenix Park e ospita centinaia di specie di animali selvaggi e uccelli tropicali. È diviso in diverse aree chiamate World of Cats, World of Primates, Fringes of the Arctic, African Plains, Birds, Reptiles, Plants, City Farm ed Endangered Species, dove vengono allevate anche molte specie protette e a rischio estinzione. All'interno della struttura sono anche fornite lezioni sulla conservazione degli animali. Storia Lo zoo è stato aperto al pubblico il 1º settembre del 1831. Gli animali, 46 mammiferi e 72 uccelli, furono donati dallo zoo di Londra. Nel 1833 l'entrata dello zoo con l'originale stile cottage fu costruita al costo di 30 sterline. Nel 1838 per celebrare l'incoronazione della Regina Vittoria, lo zoo ospitò circa 20 000 persone, che a tutt'oggi rappresenta il maggior numero di visitatori in un giorno. Nel 1844 il giardino riceve la sua prima giraffa. Nel 1855 si insediò la prima coppia di leoni che diedero alla luce i primi cuccioli due anni dopo. I rettili fanno la loro comparsa nel 1876 Nel 1898 viene costruita la prima sala da tè Altri progetti Wikimedia Commons contiene immagini o altri file su zoo di Dublino Collegamenti esterni Il sito ufficiale dello zoo, su dublinzoo.ie.
Dublin Zoo

Dublin Zoo (irl. Zú Bhaile Átha Cliath) – ogród zoologiczny założony w 1831 w Dublinie, na terenie Phoenix Park, najstarsza tego typu placówka w Irlandii oraz jeden z najstarszych ogrodów na świecie po Wiedniu, Paryżu i Londynie. Zajmuje obszar 28 ha. W ogrodzie po raz pierwszy użyto w swej nazwie skrótu „ZOO”, będącego dziś w użytku na całym świecie. Placówka należy do Europejskiego Stowarzyszenia Ogrodów Zoologicznych i Akwariów (EAZA). Historia Początki Zoo Ogród powstał z inicjatywy Towarzystwa Zoologicznego Irlandii w 1831 i zajmował obszar 4 akrów. Prezentowane były tu: lwy, lamparty, niedźwiedzie, małpy oraz papugi. W 1833 wybudowano kryte strzechą wejście, pozostałe budynki na terenie zoo były szczątkowe. W 1836 z Ogrodu Zoologicznego w Londynie, sprowadzono do Dublina słonia. Ogród finansowany był na zasadzie wolontariatu oraz opłat członkowskich Towarzystwa Zoologicznego i mierzył się z wieloma trudnościami. W 1854 udało się pozyskać rządową dotację, co wpłynęło na stabilność finansową zoo. Rok później zakupiono parę lwów, a pozyskane z hodowli lwy, były poszukiwane przez inne ogrody zoologiczne oraz handlarzy zwierząt na całym świecie. W latach 60. XIX wieku po raz pierwszy w Europie przywieziono tu mało znanego dotąd, hipopotama karłowatego z Liberii. Kolekcja prezentowanych zwierząt systematycznie rosła m.in. w 1885 ogród otrzymał orangutana w zamian za cztery lwiątka. XX wiek Przebywający w brytyjskich koloniach Irlandczycy, wysyłali do Dublina egzotyczne zwierzęta. Zoo pozyskało tym sposobem: żyrafy, pantery śnieżne, pawiany oraz goryle. Ogród stał się niezwykle popularny w czasie i po II wojnie światowej, mimo iż liczba prezentowanych zwierząt zmalała, liczba odwiedzających wzrosła (w 1939 zoo odwiedziło 173 tys. osób). W latach 1950–1960 dublińskie zoo pozyskało nosorożce i hipopotamy, które z powodzeniem się rozmnażały. Od lat 70. XX wieku ogrody zoologiczne stopniowo zaprzestawały kupowania i sprzedawania zwierząt, wprowadzono księgi hodowlane gatunków oraz wyznaczono standardy opieki nad zwierzętami. Zoo w Dublinie nie posiadało wystarczających środków finansowych by nadążyć za zmianami wprowadzanymi w ogrodach zoologicznych, malała także liczba odwiedzających, w wyniku czego ogród był bliski zamknięcia w 1991. Dzięki publicznemu wsparciu oraz rządowej pomocy wyremontowano infrastrukturę oraz wybiegi dla zwierząt. Dalsze lata W 2007 otwarto wybieg dla stada słoni indyjskich, które w ogrodzie z powodzeniem się rozmnażają. Roczna liczba zwiedzających w 2011 wyniosła 1 mln osób. Wśród zwierząt prezentowanych obecnie na terenie ogrodu są m.in.: bongo leśne, lwy azjatyckie, okapi leśne, oryksy, orangutany borneańskie, tygrysy amurskie oraz tapiry amerykańskie. Galeria Przypisy

Дублинский зоопарк (англ. Dublin Zoo) — расположен на территории парка «Феникс» в Дублине, Ирландия. Является одной из самых посещаемых туристами достопримечательностью в городе — около 960 тыс. человек (2010). История Дублинский зоопарк был основан в 1830 году, а через год торжественно открыт для посетителей. На первой выставке животных находилось более 70 птиц и 46 млекопитающих. В 1916 году во время Пасхального восстания часть животных погибло из-за нехватки продовольствия, однако впоследствии количество обитателей зоопарка было восстановлено. В 1994 году правительство Ирландии приняло программу, направленную на развитие этого парка для животных и создание отдельных тематических зон на его территории. Первой стала выставка «Мир приматов», которая представляла собой островки, где живут определенные вид приматов. Далее были открыты — «Мир кошек», «Городская ферма», «Арктические льды», «Африканские равнины».

Bishopstown Stadium

Bishopstown Stadium is an association football stadium located in Bishopstown on the western outskirts of Cork, Ireland. It is formerly the home ground of League of Ireland men's club Cork City FC and League of Ireland Women's League club Cork City WFC. It is used as a training ground by Cork City. History Built in the early 1990s, the stadium was developed as a new home for Cork City FC ahead of the 1993/94 season. However, the move to Bishopstown proved costly and unpopular with fans, while the condition of the pitch quickly became "notorious". As the venue was "not fit for purpose", a number of Cork City home games were played in other venues. By November 1995, and with Cork City on the verge of liquidation, the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) bought the stadium for £70,000 to be shared amongst the club's creditors. Under new ownership, Cork City returned to Turners Cross in 1996. Property speculators McCarthy Developments then bought the Bishopstown ground and twice tried to turn it into student accommodation serving the Cork Institute of Technology, only to be refused planning permission. They rented the site back to Cork City as a training ground and administrative base in early 2010. Cork Women's FC began using the facility as their home ground in 2013, as they forged closer links with the owners of the male Cork City club. Cork City Women's FC have played home Women's National League fixtures at Turners Cross since 2022. References

Het Bishopstown Stadium is een multifunctioneel stadion in Bishopstown, een plaats in Ierland. Het stadion wordt vooral gebruikt voor voetbalwedstrijden. Het was in de jaren 90 de thuisbasis voor Cork City FC, die club verhuisde later naar een nieuw stadion, Turners Cross. De grond werd gekocht door McCarthy Developments. Dat bedrijf probeerde meerdere keren een bouwvergunning te krijgen voor (onder andere) studentenwoningen op die plek. De voetbalclub Cork City FC gebruikt dit stadion daarna weer, nu om in te trainen en voor oefenwedstrijden. Vanaf 2013 wordt het stadion ook gebruikt door het vrouwenelftal van Cork City FC. In het stadion is plaats voor 3.000 toeschouwers.
Cannakill

Cannakill is an abandoned village located in County Offaly, Ireland. Location Cannakill is located to the west of Croghan Hill, south of the Yellow River and about 1 km (1,100 yd) northwest of Croghan village. History and archaeology In Irish, the village is called Cill Mhic Caille, "church of the son of Caill," but scholars believe it to be a corruption of ceann na coille, "head of the forest." Cannakill was one of many villages built by Ireland's Norman conquerors after the Norman invasion of Ireland (late 12th century). When the Gaelic Irish lords (the Ua Conchobhair Failghe — O'Connor Faly) regained control of the area after the Battle of Tochar Cruachain-Bri-Ele (1385), the village was abandoned. Remnants include a ruined church, graveyard and several mounds (still visible as circular cropmarks); a ruined castle of the Ua Conchobhair Failghe is located to the southwest. References
Castlebar Military Barracks

Castlebar Military Barracks, sometimes referred to as Mitchell Barracks, was a military installation at Rock Square in Castlebar, County Mayo in Ireland. The barracks was closed in 2012 and sold to Mayo County Council with an agreement to lease a portion of the barracks back to the Defence Forces for the use of a reserve unit. History The infantry barracks at Castlebar, which were built on the site of an old castle, were completed in 1834. The barracks became the home of the 3rd Battalion, the Connaught Rangers in the late 19th century and it was at Castlebar that the battalion was disbanded in 1901. A part of barracks was burnt down by the Irish Republican Army in spring 1922. Blocks E/F and J/K/L and the hospital were completely destroyed before the site was secured by the forces of the Irish Free State in summer 1922. On the night of 28 February 1957 the St. Patricks Boys National School building was burnt down, on 3 April 1957 the school was temporally relocated to blocks G and H of the barracks. A replacement school building was opened on 9 November 1961. The barracks, which latterly were used as a training camp by the Reserve Defence Forces, closed in March 2012 and the site has since been acquired by Mayo County Council. On 29 January 2016 when workers were probing the ceiling of block A they discovered a human skull. Although the barracks has sometimes been referred to as "Mitchell Barracks", local media simply refers to it as "Castlebar Military Barracks". See also List of Irish military installations References

City Hall, Cork

The City Hall, Cork (Irish: Halla na Cathrach, Corcaigh) is a civic building in Cork, Ireland which houses the administrative headquarters of Cork City Council. History The current building was commissioned to replace the old City Hall which had started life as a corn exchange. The old City Hall was designed by Cork architect Henry Hill in the neoclassical style, built by Sir Thomas Deane in ashlar stone and was completed in 1843. In 1852 the building was altered by Sir John Benson to facilitate the Cork Exhibition, opening on 10 June 1852. Following the closure of a second exhibition in 1883, the building was converted for public use. It was offered to the Cork Corporation at a price of IR£10,000 and, following the passing of the Cork Corn Markets Act 1889, it became property of the Corporation in 1893. The building was opened to the public as a city hall in roughly 1903, and a brass plaque commemorating this event is on display in the Cork Public Museum. The old city hall was destroyed on 11 December 1920 by the Black and Tans during the Irish War of Independence as part of the Burning of Cork. In the late 1920s, the civic leaders decided to rebuild City Hall. Following a design competition, designs by Alfred Jones and Stephen Kelly (Jones and Kelly architects, based in Dublin) were selected, and the construction contract for the replacement civic buildings awarded to John Sisk & Son. The foundation stone of the new City Hall building was laid by Éamon de Valera on 9 July 1932. The cost of this new building was provided by the British Government in the 1930s as a gesture of reconciliation. On 24 April 1935, Cork Corporation held a meeting in the new hall for the first time, when the Council Chambers were first opened. The City Hall was officially opened by de Valera on 8 September 1936. Architecture The structure's entry in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage describes it as one of the city's "monumental classical buildings" and its site as important. Unlike the original city hall, the current building originally didn't bear the city arms on its exterior, though it does feature mosaics of the arms contemporaneous with the building's construction on both the floor of the entrance hall and also on the tympanum above the stage of the concert hall. In 1985, as part of commemorations of the 800th year of the Cork Charter, a limestone plinth bearing the arms was erected outside the building. A major extension was completed by ABK Architects in 2007 and opened that year. See also List of public art in Cork References Notes Sources
