Pallas Castle, Tower house in County Galway, Ireland
The five-story stone fortress rises 20 meters high with thick walls containing numerous chambers, stairs, and multiple fireplaces on each floor.
The Burke family constructed this fortification around 1500, and it later transferred to the Nugent Earls of Westmeath following a period of restoration.
The architectural design includes defensive features such as a guard room with a dog entrance and carved stone decorations on the first-floor fireplace.
The castle maintains its original structure with five floors, including a vaulted third story and mullioned windows framed in arches on the fourth level.
The fortress stands within a rectangular bawn wall measuring 40 by 35 meters, reinforced by three-story round towers at each corner.
