A remarkable needle-shaped sculpture, 120 m high, whose tip lights up at night - the highest sculpture in the world.

Officially named the "Monument of Light", the Spire is a huge needle-shaped sculpture measuring 120m high, the end of which lights up at night. It was unveiled in 2003 and stands on the site of a former statue of British Admiral Horatio Nelson that was destroyed by the IRA in 1966. Designed by architect Ian Ritchie, the Spire is said to be the tallest sculpture in the world.

Pas forcément très belle cette haute pointe mais la fierté de nombreux habitants. Mais elle est certainement plus agréable à regarder la nuit tombée étant illuminée.

A voir si l'on est de passage pas loin, élément atypique dans le paysage dublinois mais devenu l'un de ses symboles.

Impressionnante par sa hauteur. Ce n'est certainement pas le monument le plus beau de Dublin. Mais une photo devant est un passage obligé pour tout bon touriste.
