The State Corridor on the first floor of the State Apartments by Edward Lovett Pearce is one of the fine interiors of Dublin Castle. Used to link the main State Apartments which all open off it, the corridor was originally top lit like the corridors in the Parliament House in College Green. Originally the areas between the arches were lit by elliptical roof lights. All were removed except one off the Battleaxe landing when the attic storey was put on the buildings of the upper yard.
