Skellig Michael, Ireland. The Edge of the World
Description
This 7th-century monastic complex, perched on the steep sides of the rocky island of Skellig Michael some 7 miles off the coast of southwest Ireland, illustrates the very spartan existence of the first Irish Christians. Since the extreme remoteness of Skellig Michael has until recently discouraged visitors, the site is exceptionally well preserved.
