About Dún Aonghasa
Welcome to Dún Aonghasa, a magnificent institution located on the stunning Aran Islands in Co. Galway, Ireland. Our awe-inspiring building sits proudly on Inishmore, the largest of the three Aran Islands, and is one of the most visited attractions in the entire country.
Dún Aonghasa is a testament to the ancient history and rich culture that has shaped these islands for thousands of years. Our institution houses an array of exhibits that showcase the fascinating history, archaeology, and geology of the Aran Islands. Visitors can explore ancient artifacts, learn about the island's geological formations, and gain insight into the daily lives of the people who called these islands home.
One of the highlights of Dún Aonghasa is the fortress itself, which dates back as far as 1100 BC. The fortress consists of three circular walls that encircle an inner platform, offering stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the surrounding cliff faces. Visitors can climb to the top of the fortress and take in breathtaking views of the rugged coastline, which has inspired artists and writers for centuries.
Our institution offers a range of educational programs for visitors of all ages, including guided tours, workshops, and interactive exhibits. We welcome school groups, families, and individuals to come and experience the unique history and culture of the Aran Islands and learn about the importance of preserving our cultural heritage.
