City life and landmarks

history & culture

Originally a village of fishermen and farmers, Dublin was conquered in 837 by a Viking invader named Thorgis. The Vikings were, however, driven back in 1014, after the battle of Clontarf in the north of the city. The region was conquered by the Anglo-Norman peoples, who absorbed Dublin in 1169. The religious differences setting Catholics against Protestants left a deep mark that lastingly affected Ireland and its capital. The latter then saw significant growth in the 18th century. The 1916 uprising and the war against England subsequently led to the loss of many old Dublin monuments, but in this way the country managed to gain its independence. Dublin officially became the capital of the Republic of Ireland in 1921.
