Dublin is more than 1,000 years old but nobody really knows just how old it is. The proto-Geographer Ptomely of Alexandria thought he knew something about it. In the year 130AD his "Geography" included a map of Ireland with a town named Eblana Polis roughly where Dublin is now situated. According to legend St Patrick visited Dublin in 450AD and baptised some of the citizenry at a well situated in what is now the grounds of St Patrick's Cathedral.
