The Saint Patrick Centre
.................................................................................................................................................

The Saint Patrick Centre, in Downpatrick, is one of Northern Ireland's
major Millennium Projects, housing the first permanent exhibition to
tell the story of Ireland's Patron Saint. The exhibition, entitled 'Ego
Patricius', presents Patrick's story in his own words and in the context
of the period. The exhibition uses state of the art interpretation that
gives visitors a real understanding of the arrival and establishment of
Christianity in Ireland. Appropriately, the Centre is located in a
stunning new building below the reputed burial site of St. Patrick.
The Centre houses a café, art gallery and shop as well as the local
Tourist Information Centre.
