Athenry Castle
This Norman castle was erected by Meiler de Bermingham, who was granted much of the lands of Connaught in 1235. After an attack on the castle in 1316, town walls were erected. These remain partially intact. The castle consists of a three storey tower surrounded by an outer wall. Athenry Castle is one of the most notable medieval walled towns surviving in Ireland. Recently re-roofed the interior contains an audio visual room and exhibition.
