TEMPLE BAR 5 SEPTEMBER 2025 06/09/2025
Temple Bar, the renowned cultural and entertainment quarter in the heart of Dublin, owes its name to a combination of a prominent 17th-century figure and the historical topography of the area. The name is not, as some might assume, a direct reference to a religious temple or a legal institution, but rather a legacy of Sir William Temple and the landscape of the River Liffey's south bank.
