Merrion Square, Dublin: tags: [geography]

► definition

Definition:

a Georgian garden square on the southside of Dublin city centre.
considered one of the city's finest surviving squares. Three sides are lined with Georgian redbrick townhouses; the West side abuts the grounds of Leinster House (seat of the Oireachtas), Government Buildings, the Natural History Museum and the National Gallery. The central railed-off garden is now a public park.
