The Round Tower Clondalkin

The visitor centre at The Round Tower Clondalkin provides for the perfect family day out, and brings the story of the Round Tower and the surrounding area to life through an exciting interactive experience. The Round Tower Clondalkin is built on the site of a monastery founded by St Mochua in the 7th century and is one of four remaining round towers in County Dublin.

Both fun and educational, the exhibition can be enjoyed through eight distinctive themed spaces of the refurbished 19th century Mill Cottages. The experience explores the monastic setting, the Viking legacy and the 19th and early 20th century setting of Clondalkin.
