Listowel, Heritage market town in County Kerry, Ireland
The town spreads along the River Feale at the center of the North Kerry limestone plain, 28 kilometers from the county town of Tralee.
Listowel Castle, constructed in the 15th century, stood as a fortress for the Fitzmaurice family until its capture in 1600 after a 28-day siege.
The Listowel Writers' Week, established in 1970, stands as Ireland's oldest literary festival, drawing authors and playwrights throughout the nation.
The town offers numerous accommodation options, from hotels to guesthouses, while local restaurants serve traditional Irish dishes using regional ingredients.
The Lartigue Monorailway, which opened in 1888, represented the first monorail system worldwide, connecting Listowel with the coastal town of Ballybunion.
