Gallarus Oratory
Gallarus oratory which is believed to be over 1000 years old is the best preserved ancient church in Ireland. It's one of the few remaining churches of this type to survive intact today. Not only is it the most distinctive single monument on the Dingle peninsula, the oratory is one of the most beautiful ancient buildings in the whole country.
It's magnificent location overlooking Smerwick harbour and the wild Atlantic ocean to the West and Mount Brandon to the East make it one of the most magical sites in Ireland to visit.
