The Killala Round Tower is an impressive 12th-century landmark, standing 25.5 meters tall and towering over the village. This limestone tower originally served as a bell tower and a place of refuge for the nearby monastic settlement. A notable detail is the doorway, located over 3 meters high as a defense against raiders. Despite a severe lightning strike in the 19th century, the tower stands in its full glory again after a thorough restoration, right next to St. Patrick's Cathedral.
