The Round Tower Visitor Centre, Clondalkin

The Round Tower, Clondalkin was founded in the 7th century by St Mochua and is one of only four remaining round towers in Co. Dublin. Thought to have been built around 790 AD, the tower stands at 27.5 metres high, still has its original cap and is thought to be the most slender of all the round towers in Ireland.

The Round Tower experience incorporates an interactive visitor centre, gardens, café, terraced dining area, exhibition and shop.

The exhibition can be enjoyed through eight distinctive themed spaces of the refurbished 19th century Mill Cottages and brings to life the monastic setting, the Viking legacy, the 19th and early 20th-century setting of Clondalkin, a busy Dublin village, as well as exploring the role that round towers performed both socially and politically in Ireland.

You can avail of a complimentary tour given by our tour guides or download our fee audio guide in five languages. Admission to the exhibit is free.
