TOWER MUSEUM

The comprehensive museum presents the history of the city of Derry, from prehistory to the present day, as well as a section dedicated to The Derry Girls series. Upstairs is a second exhibition on the Invincible Armada, an ancient galleon wreck found not far from the Northern Irish city. The episode dates back to 1588, when Philip II of Spain decided to invade England to restore Catholicism. But as the Spanish fleet approached the coast, the ships capsized. Pieces recovered from the galleon are on display.
