Magazine Fort Reopens in Phoenix Park | Belfast News

Magazine Fort in Phoenix Park has reopened after two years of restoration, ready to welcome visitors with its rich history—from 18th-century gunpowder storage to its role in the 1916 Rising. Now holding up to 430 people at once, it aims for 150,000 annual visitors. Guided tours are available online, and Minister Jack Chambers praised the project’s blend of preservation and public access, highlighting upgrades to ramparts, gunpowder store buildings, and the Duke of Dorset Gateway. A nearby bridge under construction will soon link the fort to the National War Memorial Gardens—making it a must-visit for history buffs and cityscape lovers alike.
