The Olympia Theatre in Dame Street

Remodelled in 1897, this is the most elaborate of the remaining theatres in Dublin. A plain facade with a cast-iron canopy hides an elaborate interior complete with its gods. It was restored in the 1980s after the proscenium arch collapsed prompting a restoration committee to take action.
