Символично. Этот фрагмент стены много говорит не только о прошлом Галвея, но и о Ирландской культуре в целом. На мы ценим всю площадь в целом. Она является своеобразным символом свободы и раскрепощения. Люди гуляют, общаются и даже отдыхают прямо на траве. Вместе с людьми гуляет много птиц. Своеобразный оазис покоя в центре города. Правда часто это прерывается выставками и фестивалями, что впрочем придает дополнительный колорит. Рядом торгово-развлекательный центр города с интересной пешеходной улицей, ведущей до залива и Испанской Арки. Здание банка перекликается с фрагментом стены в парке связью с древнейшими кланами Галвея и их влиянием на город и эту часть страны

I am of Ireland, And the Holy Land of Ireland, And time runs on. -William Butler Yeats This interesting structure stands tall on one side of Eyre Squar with a carved stone marker. The marker with it reads (in English but also in Gaelic), "This feature consists of a ground floor doorway and a 1st floor Oriel window and came from the main frontage of the mansion of Dominic Browne and his wife Maria Lynch and is dated 1627. Their achievements of arms occur above the door case which is a fine example of Renaissance influenced design. The doorway was relocated from its original position in Abbeygate Street and relocated here in 1905 by Local Authority with funding from Galway Archaeological Society and Urban District Council (now Galway City Council)." The intricate craftsmanship and carvings of the doorway offer a glimpse into the past, showing the artistry and skill of the 17th century. It is a must see for history enthusiasts and those who appreciate fine architecture.
