Stillorgan Obelisk
Stillorgan Obelisk
Stillorgan obelisk was built in 1727, possibly at the instigation of Lord Allen, to provide local employment that year, during the famine. It was also built a monument to Lady Allen, although she was not buried there. The obelisk measures one hundred feet in height and is made of granite. Edward Lovett Pearce designed the obelisk and took his inspiration from an obelisk by Bernini located in Rome. The gardens surrounding the obelisk have since disappeared, together with the splendid views.
