The Four Courts Seat of the High Courts and supreme Courts is situated on Inns Quay.

It was designed by James Gandon, Dublin's most famous 18th century architect. Today it is the seat of High Court of Justice, the second highest court in Ireland.

On the site of a 13th century Dominican monastery, it was also the site of the King's Inn before the present building was put in place.

In 1922, in an act that started the Irish Civil War, a group of soldiers took over the Four Courts on the behalf of the I.R.A. against the Anglo-Irish Treaty of 1921.

When they refused to surrender, the provisional government shelled the building, resulting in the complete destruction of the Four Courts. It wasn't until 1932 that the building was completely restored.
