Directly across the river, less that 2km, or a short bus ride from the Convention Centre (where the ISI 58th Congress will be held), Trinity College is the oldest university in Ireland and is situated at College Green. Founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I, the College is in an enviable position in the heart of Ireland’s capital.
The college on its 40-acre site retains some of its ancient seclusion with cobbled squares, gardens, and parks. Its great treasures include the Book of Kells, a 9th century monastic masterpiece, the Books of Durrow and Armagh, and an early Irish harp. These are displayed in the Treasury and the famous Long Room which houses over 200,000 of Trinity’s oldest books.
