Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas |
|
The Lombard Street entrance [in front of Bowling Green] to the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas, which was built by the Anglo-Normans in 1320 and enlarged in the 16th century. The church contains many fine carvings and gargoyles dating from the late Middle Ages. According to legend, Christopher Columbus once prayed here, because Galway was his last port of call before setting off on his voyage to discover the New World. The story, of course, is impossible to prove, but it's not totally implausible.
