The Martello Tower is one of 15 defense towers originally built to protect the Irish coastline from invasion by Napoleon. The tower now holds a museum devoted to the life and work of James Joyce, who made it the setting for the first chapter of his sprawling epic novel Ulysses. Joyce himself briefly stayed at the tower in the early 1900s as a guest of Oliver St. John Gogarty, who became a model for Buck Mulligan, the first character to make an appearance in the novel. The museum contains some of Joyce's personal correspondence, photographs and a very special edition of Ulysses illustrated by Matisse. The annual Bloomsday Joycean pilgrimage on June 16th also starts from here.
