Best Historic Locations in Athlone

, 2 Options Found

The Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Athlone is a beautiful Roman Catholic church. It is believed to have been built between 1932 and 1939 and is very famous for its stained glass windows. The church is in close vicinity to tourist attractions like Athlone Castle and is a very popular location.

Constructed in 1129 as a wooden fort, Athlone Castle became a Motte-and-Bailey in 1210. Also referred to as the Adamson Castle, some of the notable features here include the Sally Gate, gun and bow loops and many more. Reopened in 2012 after a refurbishment, the castle today has exhibition spaces with audio-visual equipment and 3D maps.
