Architecture of Kinvara, Galway

Kinvara (Irish: Cinn Mhara, meaning "head of the sea"), a sea port village located in the south of Galway. Kinvara developed around an Ó hEidhin towerhouse (now totally demolished) close to the main pier, the medieval church of St. Comam (in ruins) and the port. Dún Guaire, the principal towerhouse of the Ó hEidhin clan, is located to the east of the village.
