is also a bust of John F. Kennedy
in the park.Walking around

landmarks in Galway, such as:

Shopping Centre, The Browne
Doorway, The Cannons and the
Quincentennial Fountain, which
symbolises the importance of
the sea for trade in Galway.
Spanish Arch

The Spanish Arch was built in
1584. It was added to the town’s
walls to protect merchant ships
from looting. The Arch built on
the left bank of the River Corrib
has no proven association with
the Spanish and the building of
the Arch. It features a wooden
sculpture, called Madonna of
Quays. Today the Arch is home
to the Galway City Museum.
