Dublin has the national museums, the National Gallery and Trinity College with the Book of Kells. North of the city, Newgrange and Knowth at Brú na Bóinne are older than the pyramids. Glendalough, in the Wicklow mountains, is a monastic site by two lakes, and Kilkenny is a medieval town with a castle and a cathedral.
