O atrakciji
Brze činjenice: An impressive 15th-century Augustinian abbey stands quietly, showing stunning medieval stonework and delicate carvings that whisper stories from centuries past. Visitors often spot the distinctive carved limestone window tracery, unique in this region of Ireland.
Istaknuto: Carved heads on the abbey’s capitals tell tales of monks and mythical creatures, with one particular corbel showing a rare medieval face mask believed to ward off evil. The peaceful, overgrown ruins offer a haunting atmosphere where nature and history blend in quiet beauty.
Insajderski saveti
- Wear sturdy shoes as the terrain is uneven and parts of the abbey are surrounded by grassy patches.
- Bring a camera and focus on the intricately carved capitals and window tracery for unique photo opportunities.
- Visit early or late in the day to avoid crowds and catch soft, golden light through the ruins.
- Skip peak midday hours when lighting flattens the textures of the old stonework.

Radio sam ove ture u desetinama gradova i bile su vrhunac skoro svakog putovanja. Ako posećujete Ballinasloe, Ireland, uradite to prvog dana. Zahvalićete mi kasnije.
