Mga tip mula sa mga tagaroon
Monasterboice is a fascinating monastic site with an impressive round tower and two high crosses, located in County Louth. Saint Buite founded the community in the 600s; today Monasterboice attracts visitors from all over the world.
The Monasterboice (Irish: Mainistir Bhuithe) ruins are the remains of an early Christian monastic settlement in County Louth in Ireland, north of Drogheda. The ruins are a National monument of Ireland and also give their name to the local village. The monastic settlement was founded in the late 5th century by Saint Buithe (or Buite) who died around 521.[3] Poet and historian Flann Mainistrech, Flann of Monasterboice, was lector here.[4] Little is known about the monastery except for a list of abbots (759-1122). It fell into ruin after the establishment of the Cistercian Mellifont Abbey nearby in 1142.[3] A parochial church was in use at the location by the 13th century. The property is owned by the National Monuments Service and is accessible to the public.[1] Burials in the graveyard around the ruins continue in the present day. ********************** Eating Out Tip!
