Best Hotels Near Galway Spanish Arch
The Spanish Arch on the west bank of the River Corrib in Galway is a remnant of the medieval city wall, built in 1584 to protect the unloading of goods from Spanish trading vessels at the quays below. Today the arch and its sunny riverside plaza is one of the most popular gathering spots in the city — the local equivalent of a Parisian riverbank — filling with musicians, students, and visitors on fine days. Hotels near the Spanish Arch are in the heart of Galway's Latin Quarter, surrounded by the city's best pubs, restaurants, and live music venues.
