I popped in for a short visit on a Tuesday just after midday. This is the hidden gem of Galway. What an amazing place!! The history is fascinating including the connection with Christopher Columbus and Oliver Cromwell. Ticket prices are very affordable. The guides Hendrick and Jack were so kind and welcoming as was the lady at the Welcome Desk whose name I’ve forgotten. This is a must see for anyone visiting Galway!

One of Galway city's oldest churches, built on the foundations of an older church c.1320; the inside is beautifully ornate with loads of history written on plaques and there is even a Celtic cross remembering the deaths of Anglo Irish and English soldiers during the Colonial wars. There are full size Coptic Christian motifs as well in good condition and overall well worth a visit.

So this church is where Christopher Columbus went to pray. It’s a very old and beautiful church. Don’t forget to look up and see the blue dome on top! It amazing!! Old cemetery in the back that is work the checking out. The great thing it’s in the main town, where you can go anytime. If you like my post, please thumbs up me. Thank you 👍

Nice but cold very cold going there. I like some times go for meditation to churches because it’s lovely atmosphere but this church is a little bit too cold. Thank you to whoever open the door because I never see anyone there. Nice building.

Une église incroyable, tant au niveau historique qu’architectural. Il y a souvent des concerts au sein de l’église, qui avec l’écho les rendent encore plus incroyable. Sans parler de la dizaine cloches qui sonnent, joué par une personne dans le clocher, et qui anime le centre ville. Les bénévoles sont très accueillant et n’hésiterons pas à vous répondre si vous avez de questions sur l’église. Idéalement situé au coeur de Galway, il faut absolument que vous fassiez le détour !

Une magnifique église que vous pouvez visiter pour potentiellement vous ressourcer. ⛪️ Coûte que cinq euros avec un livre explicatif de chaque chose qui sont disposées à l’intérieur de l’église et son histoire .
