Donegal Castle is a fascinating 15th-century castle with a later Jacobean wing. Built by the--almost legendary--historical figure Red Hugh O'Donnell in 1474, this castle was one of the strongest fortresses in Ireland. When the O'Donnell clan fled in 1607 (a period known as "The Flight of the Earls"), the castle came under British control and a Jacobean wing was added. Today, the castle has been almost fully restored and is the site of regular Gaelic culture events.
