Carlow, County town in County Carlow, Ireland
Carlow sits at the intersection of Rivers Barrow and Burrin, with Mount Leinster creating a backdrop for this southeastern Irish settlement.
William Marshal constructed Carlow Castle between 1208 and 1213 to protect the river crossing, though only the west wall and two towers remain standing.
The VISUAL Centre for Contemporary Art maintains Ireland's largest gallery space, presenting works from national and international artists throughout the year.
Two central shopping centers, Fairgreen and Carlow Shopping Centre, provide retail options while multiple riverside paths enable walking connections across town.
The Town Hall, opening in 1886, marked its place in history as one of the British Empire's first buildings to receive electrical power installation.
