Description
Galway City Through Time explores the rich history and cultural heritage of Ireland's vibrant capital city. Founded by the de Burgh family in the early thirteenth century, Galway developed as an Anglo-Norman colony within a Gaelic hinterland, with a walled town emerging under the control of fourteen merchant families. Today, this remarkable city has retained much of its historic character despite significant changes over the decades. The book combines archive and contemporary images with informative captions to tell the story of Galway's people and place. With its unique blend of past and present, Galway City Through Time offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's development and enduring spirit. By examining both old and new photographs, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of Galway's history and its continued importance as a centre of culture, learning, and industry.
