Our journey begins at the gates of Dublin Castle, where beneath the architecture lies a brutal past of punishment and fear. Discover the tools of torture once used here, hear about priest hunters, and learn why the Upper Courtyard earned the nickname the Devil’s Half Acre. This Dublin walking tour starts with gruesome stories, torture tales and stories that most visitors never hear about when visiting Ireland.
