    This bronze monument is located in Croppies Memorial Park, west of Dublin City Centre. The monument is of Anna Livi, the personification of the River Liffey which runs through Dublin. For fans of James Joyce, Anna Livia Plurabelle is the name of a character in Finnegans Wake, who was also the physical embodiment of the river. The monument features Anna Livia as a young woman sitting on a slope with water flowing past her. Her hair is especially striking. Instead of being depicted as strands of hair, it's more like a flattened panel, resembling seaweed.

    The status is nice and worth a visit. The park isn’t that clean, and the adjacent street is quite noisy, good to pass by walking while reaching Phoenix park or the decorative museum near by

    The bronze monument was at the place of spire before. She is a character in James Joyce's novel, Finnegan's Wake.

    Nice little park. Looked clean. Seats wrre usable I have no love for the statue but it looks as if she was plonked into the water. Het back must be killing her in that position.

    It's a tiny and neat park with good amount of flowers near the Liffey River, I see people sitting and relaxing except the Anna Liva statue is not maintained properly and the fountain is not working

    Great little park, although the presence of public urination and lack of proper bins was not very pleasant to the eye

    Anna Livia is situated in a pretty little park opposite the Aisling hotel on Parkgate Street. Anna Livia the spirit of the river Liffey sits in the middle of the park in the water . It is a very tranquil place and there are seats to sit and reflect , to enjoy the relative silence from the city buzz. The garden is well maintained and there are beds of seasonal flowers and some old trees which in any season provide an interesting view. Opening times are difficult to work out but generally Mon-fri during 9am- 5pm Weekends I'm not so sure as I've seen it closed during the day on many occasions which is a shame. Well worth a visit if you are in the vicinity

    I was in dublin and I saw the Anna Oliva monument but its so dirty and so needs a clean. This makes dublin city look so bad.
