Ballymote Castle, located in Ballymote, County Sligo, Ireland, is a significant historical structure dating back to the late 13th century. Built by Richard de Burgh, the Red Earl of Ulster, the castle exemplifies Norman military architecture. It features a rectangular plan with massive curtain walls and round towers at each corner, providing robust defense capabilities. Despite changing hands multiple times throughout history, including a period under the control of the O'Connor clan, the castle remains a prominent landmark.
