Athenry Castle - Co Galway, Ireland
Athenry is one of Ireland's most notable surviving medieval walled towns and owes its foundation to Meller de Bermingham who built Athenry Castle in c 1250. The great three-storey tower which now
houses an audio visual area and exhibition is surrounded by defensive walls and is accessed at first-floor level through an unusual decorated doorway.
