Inishmaan (Irish Inis Meáin), population 200, the middle of the Aran Islands in Galway Bay,, is quieter and less touristy than its two neighbours Inishmore and Inisheer . It is, however, one of the most important strongholds of traditional Irish culture. The island is Irish-speaking. It makes up part of County Galway in the province of Connaught.

Dún Conchuir

An ancient oval stone fort, gives a breathtaking view of the island's other ancient sites and the sea.

Dún Fearbhaí

This stone fort of the 4th Century A.D, is an unusual in being almost square, instead of circular as the other forts are on the island.

Teach Synge(Synge's Cottage)

The house where John Millington Synge stayed on the island every summer from 1898 to1902. It was here he got inspiration for his plays 'The Playboy of The Western World', 'Riders to the Sea', and many of his other works from stories he heard while on Inis Meáin. The house he stayed in, Tí Synge, has been carefully restored to its original condition.

Cathaoir Synge (Synge's Chair)
