    The highest round tower to be visited in Ireland, unfortunately closed when we were there

      St. Brigid's Round Tower in Kildare stands as a testament to Ireland's ancient Christian heritage. This well-preserved tower, dating back to the 6th century, is a symbol of early monasticism. Rising majestically, it whispers stories of the past, where monks sought refuge and protected precious manuscripts.

      St. Brigid's Round Tower, with its distinctive conical shape, invites visitors to marvel at the craftsmanship of early Irish builders and reflect on the spiritual history rooted in the heart of Kildare.
