Malahide Abbey, County Dublin, Ireland
Ruins of Malahide Abbey, c. 1450-1500, behind Malahide Castle, originally built in the 12th century by the Talbot family, and home to them for almost 800 years, near Malahide in County Dublin, Ireland. The abbey's burial ground contains the Talbot family vault. The abbey is thought to be built on the site of the medieval Church of St Fenivus, and has an unusual 3-arched bell tower. It also has 2 Sheela-na-gigs (used to ward off evil) in the chancel, dating from 800-1200 and thought to be from an earlier church. Picture by Manuel Cohen
