Monuments to visit Ireland

Alignment of six Georgian houses built around 1830 by Pery Square Tontine, adjacent to the park, which is worth looking at as the most refined ensemble of the time in Ireland.

Massive castle built in the th century and then destroyed in the th by SPL to build a larger and higher. Because of its 15 metres high, the view over the surrounding landscape and the Feale River is worth climbing.

Offered to the city of Wexford by the American government, this statue, located in front of the tourist office, was erected in honour of John Barry (1745-1803), the great figure of the American Navy. Born in Wexford, he emigrated to the United States where he became a hero of the American navy during the war of independence.

A beautiful black and white lighthouse, Europe's oldest lighthouse still in operation (the structure dates back to the th century).

Fort built in 1588, pending an attack by the Spanish. Some changes were made over the centuries.

Grand Tower of the th century overlooking the village. It was thought to be built by the knights of the order of the Hospital of Saint John, founded in Jerusalem before the first crusade.

The Victorian architecture of the Sligo courthouse, built in 1878, is quite unusual for Ireland. It is described as the most impressive Victorian style building outside Dublin. The neo-Gothic façade was built on the model of the London Court of Justice.

Founded by Franciscan monks in 1240, this church took the nickname "French Church" when it served as a place of worship for Huguenot refugees between 1693 and 1815.

Yeats fans can go to Lissadel House where the poet stayed several times to write. As you can see from the park's view, now a natural reserve of birds! The building, however, is not a success. Heavy construction of 1830, she turned to the blockhouse. The owner Constance Zou-Booth, who became Countess Markievicz, played an important role in the 1916 uprising and was the first woman elected to the British House of Commons. A fate of rebel…

One of the largest and ancient mills in the country. Guided tour, on request, lasts almost an hour and provides the opportunity to see one of Ireland's largest hydraulic wheels in action.

Babushkas, the three round and sensual towers of the castle of the th century are désespérément a visitor…

Also known as Carrigahowley Castle. In fact, the castle was a square tower of the th and th centuries and was the residence of the fiery Grace O'Maley, an pirate woman of her state who did not hesitate to use the strong way. You can visit the dark and dark parts, but the main enchantment lies in the site, with its small road lined with mountains, stone walls, with its extension of bay lined with algae that spans a bridge.

Built in the th century, this residence is located in a beautiful park traversed by a watercourse punctuated by locks. The façade, a little grey, does not augur for the interior luxury of this master house. Fans of furniture will be seduced, and those who love a little fed paint. Children will be particularly at ease: playground, pet, small train (these last attractions are open in April, May and June on weekends, and every day in July and August).

This canal would be of more than relative interest… without the sad anecdote of its construction. It was excavated to link two lakes (Lough Corrib and Lough Mask) during the Great Famine. But the day of the inauguration, the water had barely sunk that the porous bed absorbed it…

The Augustinian priory was founded in 1316 by the first Earl of Kildare, John FitzThomas FitzGerald, and closed under Henry VIII. In 1807, the church of the priory was given to the Egilse of Ireland, and then in 1814 the dining was transformed into a school. 

Limestone rock where the king of Leinster, Dermot macmurrough, built a castle in the twelfth century. The remains (towers, walls and ruins in ruins) blend and integrate into the flourished vegetation. In clear weather, the view extends to 80 km.

Beautiful remains in neoclassical style, with a large dome, designed in 1790 by James Gandon (the architect of the Custom House in Dublin), for the Earl of Portarlington. A guide will accompany you in the main pieces, well restored. The large gardens offer a pleasant walk, along with rhododendrons, classical statues and a lake.

This architectural style concerns the period corresponding to the kingdoms of George III (1760-1820) and George IV (1820-1830). It is characterized by neo-classical but also Gothic and exotic influences. It was adopted by snobbery by the Irish bourgeoisie in the th century. So the architecture of their houses followed a fashion coming from England. None of the big cities of the island escaped from this trend of building large wrought iron balconies. The kitchen is generally located in the basement, the dining room on the ground floor, the living room on the first floor and the owner's bedroom still above. But social crises quickly forced their residents to sell them to apartments. Many of these houses were destroyed in the 60 s. Dublin has great witnesses to Georgian architecture, such as the homes of Stephen's Green, The Custom House, The Four Court's and King's Inn.

Statue in memory of the great Irish nationalist heroes.

It is an opportunity to mix with the locals enjoy fresh produce from the farms in the county. 

Seven oghamic stones, of which one of more than 3 meters in height, are laid out in arc of a circle. These stones, which were to be used of tomb stones or commemorative stones, communicate a feeling of mystery.

The O'Brien Tower was built in 1835 by Cornelius O'Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, the Great King of Ireland, and O'Brien of Bunratty Castle, Thormond Kings, to serve as an observatory to the hundreds of travellers who, at the time, came to look at the cliffs. It is possible to get there to use the telescope.
