Located in the heart of Dublin and built on an old Augustinian monastery, the campus covers an area of ​​90,000 square meters.

Initially it was a university only for Protestants, but from 1793 it began to admit Catholic students.

Throughout history, Trinity College has seen prominent personalities such as Samuel Beckett, Bram Stoker, Oscar Wilde or Edmund Burke pass through its classrooms.

Its construction dates back to the time of Elizabeth I, who had it built to save Irish subjects from papist influence.

The property bought new land and began to archive volumes upon volumes to compose the current layout of the immense library. Over the years, several sovereigns renewed their contribution in support of the institution.

In the eighteenth century it was, since the University was facing the Parliament, their bond was so prosperous that the institution received funds and concessions. The first block of Trinity College and of the new age was the Library, whose construction began in 1712; then followed the printing house and the refectory.

The nineteenth century was a period that marked the development of teaching and so the university also gained prestige and established new courses by restoring the pre-existing disciplines. Among the main innovations was the adoption of the modern university system, currently in use in the United Kingdom and Ireland. These changes led to the reorganization of courses in law, theology and medicine. 1842 was the year of the engineering faculty, one of the first to be established in the British Isles. In 1857 it was the turn of Lettere. Between 1830 and 1900, thirty new professorships were established.
