As with other cities in Ireland, Limerick has a history of great architecture. A 1574 document prepared for the Spanish ambassador attests to its wealth and fine architecture: Limerick is stronger and more beautiful than all the other cities of Ireland, well walled with stout walls of hewn marble... There is no entrance except by stone bridges, one of the two of which has 14 arches, and the other 8 ... for the most part the houses are of square stone of black marble and built in the form of towers and fortresses. Many examples remain in the city to the present day – though much has been lost also, through wars, decay and modern development. Present-day Limerick has perhaps not as extensive historical architecture as other Irish cities, though some very notable examples remain, such as the 800-year-old St. Mary's Cathedral and King John's Castle. (en) Maraon le cathracha eile na hÉireann, tá oidhreacht ailtireachta ar leith ag Luimneach, an ceathrú cathair is mó sa tír agus an tríú ceann is mó sa Poblacht. Ach toisc ná fuil cáil turasóireacht uirthi, níl an aithne céanna ar radharcanna Luimnigh ná mar a bhfuil ar a leithéid i mBaile Átha Cliath, i gCorcaigh nó i nGaillimh. Bunaíodh Luimneach mar ionad trasnú na Sionainne agus tá fócas na cathrach dírithe fós ar an abhann d’ainneoin gur chas sí a drom uirthi le blianta mar is gnáthach le formhór bailte na hÉireann. Ach ó blianta na 1980í, tá an béim tar éis teacht ar ais ar an abhann, go mór mór faoi thionchar Shéamuis Baróid (Jim Barrett as Béarla) a d’fhreastal mar ailtire an Bhárdais sna am agus chabhraigh tógáil Droichead na Sionainne idir Sráid Mháigh Eala agus Trá Mhic Fhlannchadha sa bhliain 1988 go mór le ath-lárú na cathrach. Glaotar an Baile Nua (nó Baile Nua an Phoirigh) ar lár na cathrach atá anois ann ach ba ar Oileán an Rí a bhunaíodh ar dtús í. Glaodh an Baile Gallda ar an gcuid den tseanchathair atá suite ar an oileán agus an Baile Gaelach ar an guid de atá suite ar bhruach theas Abhann na Mainstreach. Cé gurb faoin limistéar Seoirseach Bhaile Nua an Phoirigh is mó a bhfuil cáil ar ailtireacht na cathrach, tá foirgnimh fós le feiscint ó beagnach gach ré dá stair. (ga) |
