Lovely day out with the family. Love the view on top , make sure to bring a picnic blanket for a lovely picnic day out after eating walk at the large greenfields at the back of the cross and you will see the wild deers . 🥰

Papal Cross The Steel Cross standing at 35 meters erected in 29th September 1979 for the visit of Pope John Paul II and he offered mass in this location, 38 years later Pope Francis also offered mass here on the 26th August 2018.

It is a greenary area in a huge park in which you will enjoy silence and the atmosphere.

Reply lovely for the sausage dog meet up today!

Impressive view of the park from this high point and with luck you might spot a herd of deer. The cross of course, is a reminder of the papal visit and god's sacrifice for our salvation.

A massive park with the most important symbol in human history standing over the trees and deer.

Nice place to hangout inside Phoenix park .

The Papal Cross was erected in the Phoenix Park Dublin in 1979. On the first day of his pastoral visit to Ireland, Pope John Paul II celebrated an open-air mass on 29 September 1979 to a congregation numbering over one million. The white Latin cross was erected just a fortnight before the Pope arrived, on the edge of the site known as "Fifteen Acres". Pope Francis celebrated mass here on the final day of his 2018 visit to Ireland.

It's like a large cross, but with history & meaning. Great parking and deer surrounding with walks and runs from here single and enjoyable

Good spot for seeing deers. There is a free parking nearby.

Majestic big steel cross standing at 35 meters erected in 1979 for the visit of pope John Paul II. Lovely big place to spend nice Sunday afternoon with family. You can ride a bike, play football with kids, chill and have a lunch, walk your dog. Beautiful views from the cross level. Highly recommend this place!

It was nice to watch them making the hay bales this evening 😊

An awesome stop on our 8 day ireland tour.

Impressive scuplture in the huge park of Dublin.

Head their if you want to see all the deers

A wonderful monument found at Phoenix Park. The park itself is amazing, but, this specific part of the park is a must visit place. With a large green field is welcoming for a walking. You may love the crows at early noon flying by these fields. Is really beautiful.

Great place to visit with kids.

Good for a visit but the 5 starts is for the Ice cream truck at the bottom of the cross.. that's what you need to go for, the lady there makes a good cup of coffee too! 😋

Interesting place with a beautiful view over the park from the top of the cross hill.

Great location for all you can see all around Dublin from the top. Deer are always close by as well as an ice cream van

It's a historical landmark where two popes held mass. That's it. Nothing to see here unless you come at dusk or dawn: There is a chance of seeing deer.

I remember the day in the late 70s when the pope was there

I will never forget 1979 when the pope came put shivers down my spine an amazing day

Great starting point for a walk or run

Very beautiful, green, lush park. A lot of cherry blossom trees. Took about an hour to walk from one end to another.

This cross made me think of home because at my home church we have a huge cross in front of the building. This cross was away from the hustle and bustle of Dublin and it really was just so peaceful and nice to see the cross up and close in person. I recommend going to the Phoenix Park if you are ever in the area. You may even run into a friendly runner there like we did.

Nice place to walk with nature. But there should be a speed tracker or traffic police to control the speed of vehicles running inside the premises.

The stonemasons are doing wonderful work on the crumbling wall of the American Ambassador's residence.

A historical landmark of Catholic Ireland. Great lookout if you’re trying to spot the deer herds.

It's a large cross that reaches about 100 feet in the air on top of a small hill. There is free parking nearby.

free to see any time in Phoenix park...Nice place to go for a walk & there are few benches to sit down ...

Beautiful place to go for a walk, or take a coffee, there's nice coffee shops near.

Nice park to spend time on a sunny day

Definitely worth a visit of one of the many attractions within Phoenix Park
