Eyre Square of Galway

Posted 1 year ago by avatar marcelus in response to saly's question: Hello! What's the visiting focal point in Galway? (give a different answer) .

The Eyre Square I would say, with Kennedy Park in the middle. The greenish area honours a visit made by the American president in 1963. There's also a statue of Padraic O'Conaire, a Galway writer, very appreciated. South in Eyre Square you'll see the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas of Myra, dating from the 14th century. Nice creepy tombs inside.
