St Nicholas Collegiate Church

It’s a church. It’s pretty. Check it out if you have time in Galway.
Located right next to the city market. Hard to miss if you’re looking for it. One of the oldest churches in Ireland. Quite a lot of history to explore inside.
Can book a tour and go visit with a guide, or just go on your own. No admission fee though there is a suggested donation. Grab a leaflet and just walk around, that’s the best option.

I wanted to go inside to have a look at the stained glass windows, one of which commemorated John F. Kennedy’s 1963 visit. I arrived well before their scheduled closing, & yet all the doors were locked. I knocked to no avail. Apparently, they’re not fond of lapsed Catholics at this establishment.

There was no one to greet us, or a fee when we arrived. There was a board with all the names of the individuals buried there. We were surprised to see that a service/​blessing was taking place, to which I decided not to take pictures of out of respect.
