Description
The remote and rugged landscape of North West Ulster is reflected in its diverse range of buildings. From ancient Celtic church monuments to medieval tower houses, this region's architecture is characterized by a mix of styles and periods. Monuments such as sculptured cross-slabs, high crosses, and round towers showcase the area's early history, while fortified houses from the Plantation period give way to Georgian mansions in later centuries. The Victorian era saw a rich variety of urban and rural buildings, with both Protestant and Catholic churches displaying their own unique characteristics. This new edition of North West Ulster brings together a wealth of information on the region's architectural heritage, providing valuable insights into its history and development over time.
