James Joyce Museum
Sitting on the edge of the bay at the little suburb of Sandycove, this 12m (39-ft.) Martello tower was one of a series of stone structures built in the early 19th century to guard the island against an anticipated invasion by Napoleon's troops. When the threat passed, many of the towers were converted into homes. James Joyce lived here in 1904 as a guest of Oliver Gogarty, who rented the tower from the army for an annual fee of £8 (then about $1.60). Joyce put the tower in the first chapter of Ulysses and it has been known as Joyce's Tower ever since. Its collection of memorabilia includes letters, documents, first and rare editions, personal possessions, and photographs. There's a nice small gift shop.
