Kildare Town - An Introduction
Kildare is, by and large, still an original Irish market town. Dominated by the cathedral and the round tower, defined by its central square with its market hall (now a tourist information center).

Images from Kildare Town and its Environs
Kildare (in Irish cill dara) has been known for Saint Brigid a long time - the abbess and bishop was reputedly converted by Saint Patrick himself. Kildare today has become one of the commuting towns for Dublin, especially since the M7 was opened. Which also made getting to Kildare easy, leading to more tourism. The town is, by and large, still an original Irish market town.

Saint Patrick's College (Maynooth, County Kildare)
What once was the largest seminary in the world, churning out thousands of young priests, has dramatically changed after the Second World War - though steeped in Catholic tradition, the splendid Saint Patrick's College became part of the National University of Ireland (NUI).

Images of Saint Patrick's College and Maynooth
Saint Patrick's College in Maynooth was built as "a place of higher education for those of the Catholic or Popish religion". Its architecture rivals that of older Trinity College, but is of a more unified look. The environs are none too bad either ...
