120 meters tall, by far the tallest structure in Dublin, The Spire was the winning entry in an architectural competition to provide a replacement for Nelson's Pillar which was blown up in 1966. It was erected between December 2002 and January 2003 to great public excitement. The column to the memory of Nelson, which was one hundred and thirty-four feet high, was erected in 1808. It was blown up in 1966 in the middle of the night, but the head of Nelson has been preserved by the Dublin Civic Museum. It is 3 meters wide at the base and tapers to a 15 centimeters wide beacon at the top. The top section is perforated and lit by small LEDs.
