Monaghan Attractions

 
Monaghan (Muineachain, "Little Hills"), county town and market center of Monaghan county, lies in the north of the Republic, near the border with Northern Ireland, at the junction of the N2, N12 and N54.

The Ulster Canal, which links Belfast in Northern Ireland with the west coast of Ireland, although today in a state of neglect, runs through the town.

There was a settlement here as early as the ninth century, but the present town dates from the 18th and 19th centuries.
