What to expect?

Discover the old Irish prisons! Often converted into historical museums, they will allow you to go back in time and plunge into the heart of a forgotten prison world. The conditions of detention there were more than precarious, and some of these penitentiaries welcomed within their walls great names of the History of the country!
