Kilmainham Gaol, Ireland
"Kilmainham Jail opened in 1796, four years before the Act of Union abolished the Irish Parliament in Dublin and thus making Ireland a part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. It closed in 1924, two years after the signing of a Treaty that restored a measure of independence to the south of Ireland, a step that led ultimately to the declaration of a Republic in 1949"
