We invite you to come on a tour: St. Nicholas’ Church is old and big and beautiful, and sits right in the middle of the medieval centre of Galway city. It is dedicated to St Nicholas of Myra, patron saint of children (Santa Claus) and of mariners. There is some disagreement about when it was built, but it was certainly finished by 1320. When the church was built Galway was a tiny, very new town, a sort of frontier settlement in the wild west. The inhabitants, however, thought a lot of themselves and had big ambitions. They built a huge church, bigger than many Irish cathedrals, and still the largest parish church in use in Ireland.

This very old Church is right in the centre of Galway city and dates back to 1320.
A particular favourite of mine because it's so rich in history, this dates back 1320. It suffered the wrath of Cromwell, but still stands as a keystone building in Galway today.
