Galway City - home of the Claddagh Ring
On the west coast of Ireland, Galway City sits at the mouth of the River Corrib as it flows into the famous Galway Bay.
A lively city, renowned for arts, culture and fun, Galway has had a rich and varied history. In the past Galway was an important port of call for trading ships from across Europe and beyond. It was on one such ship that Richard, creator of the Claddagh Ring, set sail from the Spanish Arch during the seventeenth century. The arch still stands today.
Today Galway is known for its Arts, Oyster and horse-racing festivals.
