  • Wander to Lynch's Castle, standing proud with stories of power and legacy carved into its walls.
  • Uncover the secrets of the Hall of the Red Earl, where medieval Galway spun its intrigues.
  • Trace the weathered lines of the Norman Wall, silent witness to centuries of resilience.
  • Lose yourself in the vibrant maze of Galway’s Latin Quarter, where history dances through every colorful street.
