Roscommon

Roscommon is a small lush green county in Ireland with plenty of well-preserved historical features that dates back to the fifth century. Derived from the name Coman mac Faelchon, an abbot who built a monastery, the town became known as Ros Comain (St. Coman’s Wood) and later converting to a more English version, Roscommon. It’s a county where it seated the High Kings of Ireland and birthed historical people from artists, musicians, athletes, explorers, leaders, scholars and soldiers. Travelers can visit the Roscommon castle built in the 13th century, Roscommon Abbey, or the King House, a Gregorian Mansion that holds dramatic episodes of historical tragedies throughout history. This county has over 200 medieval sites to visit!
