Merrion Square Park, Georgian square and park in central Dublin, Ireland
The square features red brick townhouses on three sides and encompasses a public park with flower beds, sculptures, and mature trees.
Established in 1762 as part of Viscount FitzWilliam's estate, Merrion Square initially served as private gardens for wealthy Dublin residents.
The central park displays a statue of Oscar Wilde, who lived at No. 1 Merrion Square, while local artists exhibit their work on surrounding railings.
The park opens daily to visitors, with multiple bus routes serving the area and the National Gallery of Ireland located within walking distance.
An underground air raid shelter, designed to protect 1,100 people, remains on the southeast section of the park grounds.
