The Oscar Wilde Memorial in Merrion Square, it's a really cool monument that pays tribute to one of Ireland's most famous writers.

The Oscar Wilde Memorial is located in the center of Merrion Square, which is a beautiful park in the heart of Dublin. The monument is a large statue of Oscar Wilde, who was an Irish playwright, novelist, and poet.

One of the things that makes the memorial so interesting is its design. The statue of Wilde is surrounded by a big, green sarcophagus that's covered in quotes from his most famous works. It's a really unique and creative tribute to the writer.

And if you're a fan of Wilde's work, you'll be interested to know that the memorial is located right next to his childhood home. The house is now a museum dedicated to Wilde's life and works, so you can learn even more about him while you're in the area.

Overall, the Oscar Wilde Memorial is a really cool spot to visit if you're in Dublin. It's a unique and creative monument that pays tribute to one of Ireland's most famous writers. So, if you're a literature buff or just interested in cool monuments, be sure to check it out!

A monument in Ireland, and especially in Dublin, is neither a sensation nor a rarity. There are monuments and plaques for everyone and everything.
This one stands out for me because of the incredibly casual portrayal of Oscar Wilde.
Very close by, in front of Kennedy's Westland Row Pub, you can see him sitting again.

A very casual depiction of the great poet made from different types of stone, very skillfully and artistically designed.
