Founded by Elizabeth I in 1592 on the site of an Augustinian monastery, Trinity College is one of Ireland's foremost seats of learning. Swift, Wilde and Beckett all attended Trinity, as did Mary Robinson, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. The grounds are fully open to the public and a focal point is the Campanile built in 1852. The College is guardian to one of Ireland's most treasured possessions, namely the 9th century 'Book of Kells'.
