Since its foundation in 1592, Trinity College has become one of the world's most fam-
ous universities; the alma mater of Swift, Wilde and Beckett, and the home of the world's
most famous illuminated manuscript, the
Book of Kells
. Its 16 hectares are an oasis of aes-
thetic elegance, its cobbled quadrangles lined with handsome neoclassical buildings that
lend an air of magisterial calm to the campus, evident as soon as you walk through Front
Arch.
