If you’re wondering why so many seaport towns in Europe are dedicated to St. Nicholas, it’s because he’s the patron saint of seafarers. This particular church, built in 1320, is the largest of its kind in Ireland. It’s said even Christopher Columbus prayed here. It’s played a major role in Galway history; most of the mayoral and city council elections have taken place here. And it goes on making history even today; the building hosted the first same sex marriage to ever be held in an Irish church in here. It’s marked for its simplicity and for its elegant iconography. Airy and beautifully lit up inside, the church is a particular favourite for local weddings; so why not yours? Galway holidays and weddings has a nice ring to it.

As an added plus, there is a band called Tunes, that plays in the church in the evening. See the sign and note the time. Go listen them. You could not be happier you had gone.
