If you love history, visit and you’re in Ireland’s only fully walled city. Those cannon-holding, invader-repelling walls were built way back in the 17th century! Take in some great attractions, walk the little side streets; and grab a coffee at little café. There’s a whole new world happening within those 17th century walls.
Derry is the only remaining completely walled city in Ireland. The walls were built in 1613-1618 as a defence for the early seventeenth century settlers from England and Scotland.
