Abbey of St. Mary de Portu Patrum, Annaghdown, Romanesque abbey ruins in Annaghdown, Ireland.
The stone walls of St. Mary de Portu Patrum Abbey include a church, cloister arcade, and residential quarters near Lough Corrib's eastern shore.
King Turlough O'Conor established the abbey in 1140 for Arroasian canons, which remained active until its dissolution during the Reformation in 1562.
The carved capitals within the cloister arcade display medieval artistry through representations of animals and foliage in the local limestone.
The National Monument site stands 110 meters northwest of Annaghdown Cathedral, with both structures connected by a walking path.
The church contains a south window from 1200 that demonstrates the transition between Romanesque and early Gothic architectural elements.
