A very old stone arch, sorely neglected, barely distinguishable. Easily forgotten. Not even photo worthy. A neighboring arch had junk discarded in it. If Galway doesn't care, should you or I? Pathetic.

It's fun to imagine who passed beneath these arches and where they were going to or coming from. From the Spanish trading times.

It was alright, but I walked past it the first time thinking that there is no way that this is what they were talking about. Loved Galway, but I. Thought that the river walk in town was much more interesting than this tiny arch.

The Spanish arch is truly an amazing piece of history hard to believe its age and soundness of construction ... A quiet stroll down to the harbour and you can stroll through the arch ...

Checked out this attraction during our stay. Its located away from the centre of town but there is some good scenery nearby. Also located close to lots of pubs and restaurants.

Charming area right on the riverbank. We loved dining at Ard Bia at Nimmos, and loved seeing a Great Blue Heron sitting on the steps of another nearby restaurant, as if he was just waiting for opening time, so he could have his dinner.

I planned two days for Galway however, you only need about 5-10 minutes for this attraction. Nice for a photo-op and to feed the swans. Book a day tour with Galway Tour Company to see the Cliffs of Moher!

This is all that is left of this part of the wall around Galway. Nice place to get out of the rain if is shower comes up while you are there. Nice veiw of the river from the arch.
