Portobello, Residential townland in southern Dublin, Ireland
Portobello extends over 48 hectares along the Grand Canal, featuring a mix of Victorian architecture and modern developments within Dublin's urban center.
The construction of Portobello Barracks between 1810 and 1815 established a military presence that continues today as Cathal Brugha Barracks.
During the early 20th century, the neighborhood became home to numerous Jewish families who established businesses and synagogues in the area.
The district lies within Dublin 8 postal code and connects to the city center through multiple bus routes along Richmond Street.
In 1817, William Windham Sadlier completed a remarkable hot air balloon journey from Portobello Barracks directly to Holyhead in North Wales.
