About Armagh - show infohide info
Armagh is a city in Northern Ireland, the capital of County Armagh. In Irish it is known as Ard Mhacha, or Macha's Height. City status was officially conferred in 1995. The city is home to Armagh Observatory, founded in 1790 and to the Armagh Planetarium established in 1968 to complement the research work of the Armagh Observatory. Armagh is the seat of both Church of Ireland and Roman Catholic Archbishops. Claimed to be one of Ireland’s oldest towns, Armagh boasts a prehistoric settlement on the hill central to Armagh. Its more famous associations however, come from legend and folklore as the seat of kings and the chosen site for St Patrick to become the centre of the Christian religion in his era. For around 1000 years, Armagh was the City of Saints and Scholars, and produced some of the finest works ever seen in Ireland and Britain. Such works as the Book of Armagh influenced the spread of Christianity throughout Northern Europe. The 13th century cathedral associated with St Patrick has unfortunately lost many of its original features as it was "worked over" by the English architect, L.N. Cottingham from 1834-37. One of its best features however is the “Market Cross�. The Market Cross is actually two crosses, one atop the other, depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament. The High King of Ireland killed at the Battle of Clontarf in 1014 is also commemorated in a plaque recording that his body lies in the area. Armagh’s land is so fertile it is often called the Orchard of Ireland. Though Armagh is perhaps most famed for the Armagh Observatory. It was built in the 18th century by Richard Robinson, Archbishop of Armagh. He was the leader of the established church, the Church of Ireland. The Armagh Observatory was the second to be built in Ireland and was revolutionary in its design. At both the Armagh and Dunsink observatories, for the first time, the requirements for the stability of the instruments took priority over aesthetic considerations. Both are sparsely decorated on the exterior, yet on the Armagh Observatory, the external decoration covers the building on all sides. This was at the time, quite unusual for 18th century Irish structures.
