A big hit with kids, this rewarding and informative heritage centre, next to the medieval parish Church of St Mary's, colourfully introduces the town's historic heritage and illustrates all the gruesome details of life in medieval Athenry, including a ghoulish array of torture implements. You can dress up in period costume, and take archery lessons (one hour lesson €25) out back. Download a walking tour map from the website. Call ahead as the heritage centre may be shut for school visits.
