The Gallaras Oratory, build about A.D. 800, is a sightseeing highlight as we traveled around the Dingle Peninsula. One of Ireland's best-preserved early Christian churches, its shape is reminiscent of an upturned boat. Its watertight dry-stone walls have sheltered travelers and pilgrims for 1,200 years. It is also said the oratory has never had a need to be restored. It is today what is was back then in all its glory.
As we were just about to leave the sun shown through a break in the clouds and illuminated the area in a warm glow.
