Creevelea Abbey in Sligo, Ireland, is a historic Franciscan monastery founded in 1508 by Owen O'Rourke and his wife Margaret O'Brien. Nestled in a picturesque setting near the River Bonet, the abbey is one of the last friaries constructed before the Reformation. It features impressive Gothic architecture, including a well-preserved church, cloisters, and a belfry.
