In the middle of Ireland, on the banks of the River Shannon, lies the ruins of the Clonmacnoise monastery. The former religious center has its origins in the 6th century. For the time, the monastery was very well connected, which supported its importance: roads led in all directions and the River Shannon was also used for traffic.

Between the 10th and 17th centuries, new chapels and small churches were built here, the remains of which you can marvel at today. A round tower from the 11th century rises highest in the sky. The many Celtic crosses between the ruins give the place a special atmosphere. Many great craftsmen once gathered here and created relics and manuscripts, among other things. In the visitor center next door there are three splendid high crosses.
