Ross Errilly Friary (Ross Abbey)

Nestled among the green pastures of Galway, Ross Errilly Friary, also known as Ross Abbey, is a 15th-century stone complex that once served as the home of Franciscan friars. Today, it stands in peaceful, eerie ruin, with tombstones scattered throughout the site. Visitors can wander through the roofless remains, exploring the church, cloister, kitchen area, and living quarters, each offering a glimpse into the friary’s rich history and the lives of those who once resided there.
