Luluye – it is a city in the western part of Ireland, located on the northern coast of the Gulf, with the same name as the capital of the province of Guluye. In the Middle Ages, the city has been an important trading center with economic ties to France and Spain for a long time. Today there is a direct service from the port of Galouye on the Corrib River to different regions and cities in Ireland, as well as to the Ararean Islands.
Holuya has many historical and cultural attractions. There is also a representative of the National University of Ireland. The citys architecture combines a classy British architecture with modern, multifunctional buildings. The main religious object of the city is the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, built in 1965. The architectural structure of the church is a mixture of several different styles at the same time. The cathedral rises on the riverbank and is beautifully viewed from every part of the riverfront. In 1966, the main hall of the church had an organ commissioned from Louvre and said to be one of the finest organs in Ireland.
One of the oldest buildings in the city is St. Nicholas Church, which dates back to the 14th century. According to local legend, it was where Christopher Columbus offered his last prayer on his way to the shores of Southern America.
At the intersection of Abbeygate Street and Shop Street is the Castle of Lynch, an example of Classical Irish tactics. Originally the castle was owned by a very wealthy and prominent Irish family, but in the first half of the 20th century it was bought by the Union of Irish Banks, The castle was then rebuilt, giving it a modern and respectable appearance. On the first floor of the building is the Museum of the History of Galway, regularly visited by local residents and visitors to the city.
Southwest of Galway is the Spanish Arch, an addition to the city wall. Beside the arch is an art gallery with paintings by Irish artists from various years. In addition, the gallery features an exhibition on the cultural heritage of Goluya. Nearby, the port and harbor are located near the Philippine harbor. The attention of lovers of art is sure to be attracted by the Irish Brass Center, whose exceptional collection includes unique pieces of bricks from all over Ireland.
