Galway City
-
The pleasant, bustling regional capital started life as a fortress of the O’Connors of Connacht. Colonized in 1232 by Anglo-Normans, it became a prosperous seaport: some fine buildings survive, notably 16th-century Lynch’s Castle (now a bank), and 14th-century St Nicholas’s Church. A great atmosphere, with plenty of music and traditional shops.
