Viking Dublin, 1000
This is the Norse port of Dyflin at the height of its Viking era: a compact timber town on the south bank of the Liffey, ringed by an earthen bank and a raised assembly mound. The walk moves from the bay and river mouth inward to the dark pool of Duiblinn, along quays crowded with longships, through markets for silver and thralls, and up to the Thingmote.
33 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Dublin as it stood in 1000 (“History of Dublin”).
