Cill Chiaráin (anglicized as Kilkieran) is a village in County Galway, Ireland. The R340 road along the coast from Galway city passes through Cill Chiaráin. Cill Chiaráin is a Gaeltacht area of Ireland. It is linked to the nearby town of Carna by the Irish college of Coláiste Sheoisaimh, which runs courses during the summer and mid-term breaks. Cill Chiaráin is Irish for "Ciarán's church" and is named after Saint Ciarán, who spent many years living in the village. There is a National School, a Church and a Holy Well named after him. Also, up on the hill overlooking the whole of Cill Chiaráin there is a cross erected in his honour and in front of that there is a place called "Leaba Chiaráin" ("Ciarán's bed"). Cill Chiaráin holds place for many tourists and every year it plays host to the Connemara Triathlon. There is also a Cill Chiaráin in County Kilkenny. ==See also== * List of towns and villages in Ireland 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kilkieran」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
