| This is the entrance to the Monastery at Glendalough, founded by St. Kevin in the 6th Century. The main entrance wall which separated the monks from the outside world was accessed through this double-arched gateway. It was probably built between 900 and 1200. Here's the amazing part-- There is no mortar to support the arches in this gateway. |

Our tour guide said they do not know how the arches were fashioned. Aren't they quite remarkable?
