landmarks & statues of Ireland
Graveyards, grottos and antiques statues are part of a long cultural tradition in Ireland. They serve as a storytelling device, that linking us to our ancestors and our past. These landmarks hold a symbolic value in the community, they are our inherited artworks, created by the people who came before us. They are part of Irelands landscape and accompany villages and towns all over the country. They are our heritage, our history, our identity. They are Ireland.
