Leinster House, Parliament building and former ducal palace in Dublin, Ireland
The three-story limestone building features Georgian and Palladian architectural elements with a central entrance block flanked by symmetrical wings.
Richard Cassels designed this residence in 1748 for the Earl of Kildare, which later transformed into the headquarters of the Royal Dublin Society.
The structure now hosts the two chambers of Irish Parliament: Dáil Éireann and Seanad Éireann, where national policies and laws are debated.
Tours of the building start at the Kildare Street entrance, requiring advance booking and valid identification for security clearance.
The layout and architectural details of this Dublin palace influenced James Hoban's design for the White House in Washington, D.C.
