A movie demonstrating an interactive 3D model of Medieval Athenry which aims to reconstruct how Athenry would have looked in the late 16th century, just before the attack by Red Hugh O'Donnell in 1597 who destroyed much of the town.
This is only phase I of the project. Athenry today has one of the best preserved town walls of any Irish walled town. This work has been developed by Realsim on behalf of Athenry Community Council Trust, The Heritage Council and Galway County Council and has been funded by the Heritage Council and Galway County Council.
