Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Ireland, is a former prison that played a significant role in Irish history. Established in 1796, it housed many of the key figures involved in the struggle for Irish independence. The prison is particularly noted for detaining leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising before their execution, making it a poignant symbol of the Irish quest for self-determination. Today, Kilmainham Gaol operates as a museum, providing visitors with a poignant glimpse into Ireland's turbulent past, including exhibits on the political prisoners held within its walls and the broader context of Irish nationalism.
