Bank of Ireland. College Green

The Irish Houses of Parliament, now called the Bank of Ireland, College Green due to its modern day use as a branch of the bank-was the world's first purpose-built two-chamber parliament house. It served as the seat of both chambers (the Lords and Commons) of the Irish parliament of the Kingdom of Ireland for most of the eighteenth century. The building is effectively semi-circular in shape, occupying nearly 6,000 m² (1.5 acres) of ground. Overlooking Trinity College, this is a very imposing building.
