Glasnevin Cemetery was established in 1828. An award winning museum was built in 2010 containing a café, shop, interactive exhibitions, genealogy section, and function space. Glasnevin is the largest cemetery in Ireland with over 1.5 - 1.6 million people buried there including many historical icons and regular Dubliners. Daniel O'Connell, the liberator and cemetery founder, whose monument tower is the tallest in Ireland, lies in a decorative crypt. Glasnevin now operates as a Tourist attraction in Dublin, its guided tours being particularly successful. It also continues to operate as a fully functioning facility for burials and cremations. Tours include a visit to Daniel O'Connell's Crypt. The tours are 1 1/4 hours and the museum is self guided. The O'Connell Tower is now open to visitors! You can now climb the O’Connell Tower – Ireland’s tallest round tower for the first time in over 45 years. As you pass through the ornate crypt of Daniel O’Connell, you begin the journey to the top of the monument built in his honour. After a comprehensive restoration programme, the staircase in the tower is now accessible, complete with an exhibition about the legendary figure himself and the fascinating history of the tower. Once at the top, you will enjoy 360 degree panoramic views of the sprawling grounds of the cemetery, the city of Dublin, Wicklow and the Irish Sea. Tower opening hours: 10am-5pm daily.
Empezaremos la visita en El Escorial, símbolo del poderío español del siglo XVI, que conmemora la Batalla de San Quintín y es el Panteón de los restos del Emperador Carlos V. Su construcción fue regida por la razón, la simetría y el equilibrio, y guarda los grandes exponentes del humanismo renacentista. Por esta razón, durante años fue considerado la octava maravilla del mundo. La visita incluye El Palacio de los Austrias, el Panteón de Los Reyes e Infantes, la Sala Capitular y la Basílica. A 9 km de El Escorial se encuentra la siguiente parada de nuestra visita: la basílica del Valle de los Caídos. Construida entre 1940 y 1959 para honrar a los españoles que murieron durante la Guerra Civil, esta grandiosa construcción está excavada en la montaña a 1350 m sobre el nivel del mar. En ella, una impresionante cruz de 150 m de altura se erige sobre el magnífico paraje natural de la sierra madrileña.
