Historic Religious Sites

This collection explores the ecclesiastical heritage of County Kerry and West Cork, ranging from the dry-stone corbelled architecture of the early Christian Gallarus Oratory to the Romanesque carvings at Kilmalkedar.

These sites reflect Ireland's transition from early monasticism to medieval parish life, set against the rugged backdrop of the Dingle and Iveragh Peninsulas.
