What you'll see
A pair of old stone arches in a stretch of the city wall where the fast River Corrib meets the bay, with a grassy riverbank where people sit out on sunny evenings.
A brief history
It was built in 1584 to guard the quays where ships unloaded wine and goods from Spain and France, which is likely where the name comes from.
