Galway, Administrative center in western Ireland.
Galway stands on the River Corrib between Lough Corrib and Galway Bay, with medieval streets leading to a modern harbor district.
The settlement grew from a fortress built by the King of Connacht in 1124, later developing into a trading port under merchant families.
The streets fill with musicians, performers, and artists throughout numerous festivals, including the International Arts Festival and Film Festival.
The city center contains multiple accommodation options within walking distance of shopping areas, restaurants, and entertainment venues along Shop Street.
The traditional Claddagh neighborhood maintained its own customs and elected leader, contributing to the creation of the renowned Claddagh ring design.
