A woman in yellow walks with a child near the famous Round Tower and yews.
Photo by E. Nägele.
Front caption reads, "Round Tower, Glendalough, Co. Wicklow, Ireland."
Back caption reads,
"GLENDALOUGH: Here in the sixth century, St. Kevin founded a monastery
from which grew the monastic city of Glendalough which became one of the most
renowned centres of learning in Europe. Today the ruins still eloquent of the
former glory of the place, make Glendalough once of the most interesting of
Ireland's historic sites. The Round Tower at Glendalough is about 110 ft. high
and 52. ft. in circumference at the base, and is still in an excellent state of
preservation."
