Gallatus Oratory

This 1300 year-old dry stone church was made without masonry – stones just fit together and yet it’s watertight. It’s one of Ireland’s prettiest ancient buildings and gives you a really good sense of just how long Christianity has been in this country. Gallarus is clearly marked by a signpost off the R559, 8km northwest of Dingle town, and is 400m east of the Gallarus Visitor Centre car park. You can also opt for free parking on the roadside at the public path that leads to the church from the south.
