A thriving international technology and business centre of Europe, the capital city of Ireland, Dublin is also a popular world class tourism and convention destination. Dublin being a culturally diverse region, it offers an open and welcoming environment to cultures from around the world. Owing to the heavy influence of emigrants since its inception, Dublin has becoming a melting pot of religions, cultures and traditions from across Europe. Thus, Irish culture is subtly reflected not only through its urban areas, but also through the various religious monuments and places of worship in Dublin

Besides Ireland's heritage sites, parklands, and historic architecture, there are also several religious monuments and places of worship in Dublin that reflect the numerous religions dwelling in the city. Owing to its long tradition of emigration that continued up until the early 1990s, Dublin now has a sizeable number of immigrants from fellow EU member countries, Poland, China, Brazil, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Nigeria, Lithuania, Ghana, Romania, Australia, New Zealand, Algeria and Russia. This growth in diversity has brought across a host of religions which accounts the several religious monuments and places of worship in Dublin. Despite Ireland's past religious conflicts regarding Catholicism and Protestantism, after attaining independence, the population of the Republic of Ireland is predominantly Roman Catholic, while the second largest denomination being the Church of Ireland (Anglican). Other religious denominations include the Presbyterian, Methodist, the Jewish community, Islamic community, and the minority groups who belong to orthodox, agnostic, atheist and 'no religion' groups.
