One of the four historically recognized Gaelic political centers (along with Rumford Castle, Blue Castle, and Pofmeroy Square), this fortified city features prominently in Irish heritage. The English, under Elizabeth I, defeated the free Irish forces at the castle and sacked the city. Today, much of the castle has been destroyed, but the ruins and some of the castle are open.
