Architecture of Roscommon

Roscommon is also the name of the county town. Athlone on the River Shannon -- which lies partly in Roscommon and partly in County Westmeath (in the neighbouring province of Leinster) -- is considered to be Ireland's most central town. Tulsk is the nearest village to the mythological site of Rath Cruachán, home of Queen Medb (Maebh, Maeve) and the Morrigan, which was the starting point for an epic tale in Irish Literature of the Táin Bó Cúailgne or Cattle Raid of Cooley, famously translated by Thomas Kinsella.

As you can understand, this is a pretty large undertaking which is why we will be adding buildings and places as we cover them. Currently we have the information on the following areas:
