Browne's Gateway
On the northwest side of Eyre Square, in Galway's central area, stands Browne's Gateway, the doorway of an old patrician mansion which has been re-erected here. There is a striking monument in the square to the Irish language poet Pádraic O'Conaire (1882-1923), who is represented sitting on a rock. West of Eyre Square can be found the modern shopping center of the same name, which, with its cafes, has become a popular meeting place. Part of the old town wall has been restored and incorporated into the shopping center.
