Beautiful Church built before the famine. Really nice stained glass windows. Magnificent Rose window donated to this church also a recent modern stained glass window donated within the last 10 years. Wonderful celebration of Mass every Sunday by the local Fr.Larkin and wonderful choir by family of local musicians The Fennel Family.This is available on webcam.

This huge church was designed by Walter Doolin architect, and some time later the spire was added in 1916 by O'Callaghan and Webb architects of Dublin. The artistic execution of the carved detailing, mosaics, stained glass and interior decoration complement and enhance this imposing church. The exterior is far more impressive than the church of Ireland church on Henry Street. Don't just walk, the interior is well worth seeing with elaborate mosaics, leaded glass and memorials. How did the people of a small (not rich) town pay for such an impressive edifice?

The largest medieval church in Ireland is surrounded by narrow, winding streets and a bustling marketplace.

Located just round the corner of Tig Coili, down Market Street is this wonderful church. Founded in 1320 (!) and dedicated to the patron saint of seafarers and visited by Christopher Columbus in 1477. Be sure to read all the pamphlets as the contain loads of facts, and if you happen to be there as a tour group is wondering through, the acoustics allow you to catch all the guide's wisdom. Afterwards, be sure to cross the street and visit Sheridan's Cheese Mongers.

My husband & I were travelling with a tour group with Gate 1 Travel and Galway Cathedral was on our list of MUST SEE when we arrived in Galway. This spectacular Cathedral was built with local limestone and Connemara marble and is truly amazing. The awe inspiring sanctuary with its wooden pews, flags, marble floors, stained glass windows, altars, cupola and THAT large pipe organ are exquisite! The plaque with JFK made a lasting impression. THIS CATHEDRAL IS A MUST SEE! TRULY ONE OF THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN!
