• Eyre Square - Known in Irish as ‘An Fhaiche Mhór’, Eyre Square is situated in the center of Galway City and is officially named the John F. Kennedy Memorial Park. This square boasts a rich history, dating back to medieval times when markets were held on the green in front of the town gates. It continues to be a favored gathering spot for both visitors and locals, with the grassy areas often bustling on sunny days. A bust of US President Kennedy, who was honored as a Freeman of the city, marks the location where he addressed around 100,000 Galway residents in 1963, during his final visit before his assassination.

The park features several ornate fixtures, including the historic Browne family mansion doorway (1627) and the Quincentennial fountain (1984), which represents the Galway Hooker, a traditional fishing boat unique to Galway.
