## Resource

Dublin’s Four Courts, a majestic 18th-century symbol of justice, has been fully restored after a 11-million-euro conservation effort that matched the original construction timeline. Triggered by dangerous masonry collapse in 2011, the project uncovered the building’s iconic dome and drum, revealing its resilience through history—from its design by James Gandon to near-total destruction in 1922. Using reinforced concrete and painstaking stone restoration, especially of deteriorated Corinthian capitals, conservators blended modern tech with traditional craftsmanship to honor the original. Replacing a rusted steel band with stainless steel and restoring the classical roof, the team preserved Gandon’s vision, proving Ireland’s mastery in safeguarding architectural heritage.
