The Irish harp, also known as the Cláirseach, is one of the oldest symbols of Ireland. Its history dates back to the Middle Ages when it was used as an instrument to accompany bards at the court of Irish kings and chieftains. The harp is not only a musical instrument in Ireland, but also a symbol of Irish culture and patriotism. Over the centuries, the harp has become a symbol of Irish resistance to English rule, especially during periods when Irish culture was suppressed.
In 1922, when Ireland gained independence, the harp was officially chosen as the national symbol and is still part of the national emblem of Ireland today.
