Armagh is an ancient land ripe with history and culture. St. Patrick built his first church in Ireland in Armagh. He called Armagh “my sweet hill.” Schools, homes, and more churches were built around St. Patrick’s first church and eventually Armagh become know as the “City of Saints and Scholars.” It produced some of the finest scholars of Ireland and played an important role in the spread of Christianity through Europe.
Armagh has been the setting of many battles. She’s been raided, ransacked, and rebuilt over the ages, but she stands strong today and is a lovely place to visit. From the legends of the locals you can hear in the pubs to the museums, conservatories, cathedrals, and even a game or two of road bowling, there is much to do in a land you’re bound to fall in love with at first sight.
