This monastic site dates from 600AD. It was the centre of learning and from where Christianity was re-introduced to northern and central Europe after what was known as the dark ages. Saint Kevin founded a monastery here and much of the original architecture remains, such as St Kevin's Kitchen, Church and Round Tower, the tower was constructed as shelter for the Monks and their Latin manuscripts from marauding Vikings.

Glendalough could be the reason that Ireland is known as 'The land of Saints and Scholars'.
