Hotels Near Spanish Arch, Galway

Address Galway, Ireland

Spanish Arch is a historic landmark located in the city of Galway, Ireland. It is a stone archway that was built in the late 16th century as part of the city's fortifications. The archway was originally known as Ceann an Bhalla, which means "the head of the wall" in Irish.

The archway was built to protect the city's quayside from attack by Spanish and French ships. It was also used as a customs house and a place to store goods that were brought into the city by sea. Over the years, the archway has been used for a variety of purposes, including as a prison and a meeting place for merchants.

Today, Spanish Arch is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Galway's rich history. Visitors can walk through the archway and explore the surrounding area, which includes a park and a number of shops and restaurants. The archway is also a popular spot for street performers and musicians, who entertain visitors with traditional Irish music and dance.

Despite its age, Spanish Arch has been well-preserved over the years and remains an important part of Galway's cultural heritage. It is a must-see destination for anyone visiting the city and offers a fascinating glimpse into Ireland's past.
