Cabra

Cabra is a residential district in north Dublin situated between the Royal Canal and Phoenix Park. The area features tree-lined streets with family homes, local shops, and green spaces that form the backbone of this densely settled neighborhood.

The manor of Cabra was established around 1480 and served as a property of the Plunket family. This landowning family influenced the early development of the area before the district evolved into the residential neighborhood known today.

The Church of Christ the King, constructed in 1933, incorporates red brick architecture and displays a prominent statue within its tower structure.

Multiple bus routes connect Cabra to central Dublin, and two stations on the Luas Green Line tram provide fast access to the city center. Walking between these stations is straightforward, with clear neighborhoods marking the way.

Broom Bridge is the place where mathematician William Rowan Hamilton scratched his quaternions formula into stone during a walk in 1843. This everyday location marks an important moment when a famous equation came to life in an unexpected way.
