Historic Astronomical Observatories of Ireland
The Historic Astronomical Observatories of Ireland comprise two pioneering scientific institutions from the late 18th and 19th centuries.
The observatories include both the buildings and the instruments, with the telescopes standing out. The work of the astronomers here led to the development of the concept of the external galaxies beyond the Milky Way.
The site is meant as a serial transnational nomination together with the Armagh Observatory (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).
