The Story of Co. Galway

Spanning from the stone walls of Connemara to the Atlantic-battered Aran Islands, Galway, Gaillimh, was ruled in the west by Gaelic chieftains and in its city by the merchant “Tribes” who traded with Spain. On Inishmore, the prehistoric fort of Dún Aonghasa clings to a cliff edge above the ocean, one of the most spectacular ancient sites in Europe.
