Description
High above the County Galway countryside, these sculpted limestone battlements, bleached by Nature over more than 600 years, granted the Norman builders of Thoor Ballylee (Yeats Tower) a crisp view of the surrounding terrain during the tumultuous Medieval period in Irish History.
This 15th or 16th Century Tower House became the summer home and symbol of famed Poet and Nobel Laureate William Butler Yeats in 1917 and is being restored and reopened in summer 2015 as a cultural center by a local non-profit group, the Yeats Thoor Ballylee Society.
