Located at the center of Ireland's Capital city, the Dublin Spire is 120 metres high. It's built on the same central area of O'Connell Street previously occupied by Nelson's Pillar until 1966.
Originally planned as part of Dublin city's Millennium celebrations, the construction was initially postponed by a legal challenge & after work commenced, high winds also proved to be a delaying factor. |

Made with polished stainless steel tubes (totaling 126 tons), the Dublin Spire was completed using the largest crane ever operated in Ireland on January 21st 2003. The local wags have already re-named it - The Spike.
