A set of arches built in 1584 as an extension of the city walls of Galway and intended to protect the city's river quays. The Spanish Arch is located on the banks of the River Corrib directly across from The Claddagh..
In 1755, the arches were partially destroyed by the tsunami generated by the 1755 Lisbon earthquake.
