Sligo Abbey, also known as the Dominican Friary of Sligo, is a historic medieval ruin located in Sligo, Ireland. Founded in 1253 by Maurice FitzGerald, the abbey is notable for its well-preserved Gothic and Renaissance architectural elements. Visitors to the site can explore the remains of the nave, choir, and cloisters, as well as a unique sculpted high altar, which is the only one of its kind to survive in an Irish monastic site.
