The prosperity of Dublin, Ireland’s capital city, has fluctuated since the seventh or eighth century. The founding of the infamous Guinness brewery goes back to 1759 here.

Parts of it have been knocked down and built up again a few times – by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century, following an earthquake in 1755, and by the French in the early 1900s. Morocco gained independence in the 1950s and is now a major city and financial centre.<\/p>\n
