La storia di Connacht

Galway is a city of music, colourful shopfronts and festivals. Connemara is a land of lakes and mountains, and the Aran Islands keep stone forts and the Irish language. In Mayo, the Céide Fields are the oldest known field system in the world, and the National Museum's Country Life branch is near Castlebar. Sligo is the county of the poet W. B. Yeats.

Storia nascosta

A ring from a captive

The Claddagh ring was made by a fisherman far from home.

The legend says Richard Joyce, a fisherman from the Claddagh in Galway, was captured and sold as a slave in North Africa. There he learned to be a goldsmith and made a ring with two hands holding a crowned heart. When he was freed, he came home and gave it to the girl who had waited for him.
