Kilmainham

Western district of the city of Dublin, Republic of Ireland. Kilmainham contains the old jail in which Charles Stewart Parnell and other political prisoners were held by the British, and where the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising were executed. The jail (built in 1792) is now a historical museum. The Royal Hospital (a 17th-century classical building designed by the surveyor general William Robinson) now houses the Irish Museum of Modern Art.
