St. Patrick Statue at The Octagon, Westport

Highlight • Monument

In the middle of Westport's unique octagonal square, St. Patrick towers over the city on a column from 1845. Where a controversial banker once stood, Ireland's patron saint now watches over the market stalls and colourful facades. This monument is the beating heart of the city and the ideal starting point for any cyclist: from here, Patrick symbolically points you the way to his holy mountain on the horizon.
