St Nicholas Church

Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of travellers. Thus, the merchants of Galway chose him as benefactor patron of the town. The church was built in 1320, and after more than one century later it became collegiate church. Today it belongs to the Church of Ireland. Some people say that Cristobal Colombus visited Galway, and that he prayed in this church before going to America.
