Product description

The Gateway to the Monastic City

Gateway to the Episcopal City of Glendalough, Site of "Kevin of Glendalough" Monastic site. This was the principal entrance and it has the distinction of being the only surviving entrance to an early ecclesiastical settlement.The remains today are the two semi-circular arched sections some 16 ft. (5 metres) apart, which formed the front and back portions, supported by granite piers. The inner arch rises higher than the outer one in order to compensate for the upward slope of the flagged causeway. Although the walls were sturdy and able to support the keeper’s quarters and tower they were rather crude in style. While the gable ends appeared to be quite strong some experts wonder how the side walls were able to support the weight involved. Just beyond the inner arch in the west wall is a rectangular slab 5 ft. (1.5metres) high and about 7½ ft. (2.5 metres) long. It is carved with a cross of unusual design. The cross has a curiously widespread shaft but despite its shape it is believed to have been the sanctuary mark which ensured protection to anyone seeking refuge within the monastic confines. This form of protection was quite common at several other monastic sites throughout the Irish countryside.

High-quality handmade production and fast shipping

Quality always comes first
The meticulous handmade production of every print in the Czech Republic is not only our pride, but also the best calling card that keeps our customers coming back to us. We treat each print individually, always check its quality and package it securely so that it will not be damaged during its journey to you.

We print the same day!
You order and we start printing the same day. We ship all types of prints within 48 hours from ordering.

TIP: Add a white or black border to the image

If you want your chosen motif to look lighter on the wall, you can have the image printed with a white or black border.

The border works as a border and visually frames the image around its perimeter. It is automatically calculated for each dimension you choose.

You won't go wrong with a "passepartout" and your images will look professional - plus the border looks perfect in the frame!
