Banagher Martello Tower

Standing near the old bridge in Banagher, this Napoleonic-era Martello tower is a striking piece of military history — a compact defensive fort built during the 19th century when the threat of French invasion had Britain and Ireland constructing these distinctive round towers across the empire. It's the kind of place that makes you stop and actually think about the history beneath your feet. Well worth a look if you're passing through town.
