PHOENIX FOLLY

The Phoenix Folly draws inspiration from that 1747 monument in Phoenix Park, commissioned by the 4th Earl of Chesterfield. This column, topped with a mythical phoenix, was a prominent feature on the park’s main avenue, although it was later moved. It is believed the column commemorated the park's opening to the public, symbolising a new era of access for Dubliners.
