O'Connell Street, Main commercial thoroughfare in central Dublin, Ireland
The street stretches 1,980 feet long and 150 feet wide, featuring broad carriageways on both sides with a central pathway containing monuments and sculptures.
Initially called Drogheda Street in the 1700s and later Sackville Street, the road underwent major transformations until its renaming to O'Connell Street in 1924.
The General Post Office building, constructed in 1818, stands as a central architectural landmark where leaders read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic.
The street functions as the primary transportation hub of Dublin, with multiple bus routes and two Luas tram stops connecting different parts of the city.
The Spire of Dublin, a stainless steel monument reaching 120 meters high, marks the street's center and serves as a modern navigation point.
