Ennis, County town in County Clare, Ireland
The medieval lanes of Ennis wind along the River Fergus, forming a network of narrow passageways lined with stone buildings and local shops.
The O'Brien dynasty established Ennis as a center of power in the 12th century, constructing Clonroad Fort in 1210 and inviting Franciscan monks in 1240.
The Glór Irish Music Centre presents regular performances of traditional Irish music, maintaining the town's position as a center for musical heritage.
Shannon Airport is located 24 kilometers from Ennis, with regular bus and rail connections linking the town to Dublin, Galway, and Limerick.
The River Fergus splits into two courses through Ennis, creating an island that gave the town its name, derived from the Irish word 'Inis'.
