‘Mac Mór’ offers a unique perspective of the historic Tower House, set against the backdrop of Ireland’s rugged coastline. Built in the 16th century by McCarthy Mór , it was originally constructed to safeguard the bay from pirates and to levy tariffs on incoming trade ships, this architectural marvel played a crucial role in the region's maritime history.
The photograph frames the castle's commanding position overlooking the sea, reflecting its strategic significance. A little further west lies a 12th-century abbey, and beyond that, Ballinskelligs Pier, from where boats to the Skellig Islands depart.
