Black Abbey Quarter of Kilkenny.
The Black Abbey church founded in 1225 is the focal point of Black Abbey square and the Abbey street area. Adjacent are elements of the medieval Kilkenny City walls and the Black Freren Gate, which is the sole remaining Kilkenny City gate still in place. There are wonderful walks through the medieval streets and lanes in this historic quarter of Kilkenny City.
