Cyclopean Derelict Doorway Glendalough Wicklow
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the intricate details of the Cyclopean Doorway at Our Lady's Church in the ancient monastic city of Glendalough, County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland. Dating back to the early 1900s, this image offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this remarkable site. The Cyclopean Doorway, named for its distinctive circular design, is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of the early Christian monks who built the church in the 10th century. The doorway's intricate carvings, which include interlaced knots, geometric patterns, and animal motifs, are a reflection of the monks' artistic and spiritual influences. Our Lady's Church, also known as the Round Tower Church, is one of the most well-preserved structures in Glendalough. Despite its derelict state in this photograph, the church remains an important pilgrimage site and a popular tourist destination. The ruins of the church and the surrounding monastic city are set amidst the picturesque Glendalough Valley, with its lush greenery and serene lake. The Cyclopean Doorway at Our Lady's Church is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Ireland's ancient monastic past. Its intricate carvings and circular design continue to inspire awe and wonder, making it a must-see destination for anyone interested in history, art, or spirituality.
