    Hotspot of the state-of-the-art part of Dublin. Unlike some other cities where old harbor areas are being revitalized, architecture here is not just modern, it is wonderfully shaped by courage and the will to create something out of the ordinary.

      Impressive to see these modern buildings on the former Docklands.

        The Grand Canal Docks first opened in 1796, built to a design by William Jessop.[10] Before this development, from medieval times the area was associated with lepers, as recorded in some of the street names such as Misery Hill and Lazer Lane.[11] At the time they were the world's largest docks. They fell into decline within just a few decades, due mostly to reduced canal usage with the arrival of the railways. The landscape was dominated by Dublin Gas Company's mountains of black coal, along with chemical factories, tar pits, bottle factories and iron foundries. However, bakers and millers maintained business along the southern edge of the inner basin.[12] By the 1960s, the Grand Canal Docks were almost completely derelict.
