The Papal Cross in Phoenix Park is a significant landmark with both religious and historical importance. Erected for the visit of Pope John Paul II to Ireland in 1979, the cross stands as a symbol of that momentous event.

The Papal Cross is located in the Phoenix Park, one of Europe's largest enclosed public parks, providing a serene and picturesque setting for this iconic structure. Its location on the edge of Fifteen Acres offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Over the years, the Papal Cross has become a popular destination for both locals and visitors. Many come to the site for its religious significance, while others appreciate its role in commemorating an important chapter in Irish history.
