Belvedere House

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:15:59

The home of Jesuit Belvedere College since 1841, James Joyce studied here between 1893 and 1898 (and described his experiences in A Portrait of the Artist ), and we can only wonder if he ever took a moment to admire the magnificent plasterwork by master stuccodore Michael Stapleton in between catechism classes and arithmetic homework? It's closed to the public.
