 | Mussenden Temple The temple was built in 1785 and forms part of the estate of Frederick Augustus Hervey, Bishop of Derry and Earl of Bristol (or the Earl Bishop). The temple was built as a summer library and its architecture was inspired by the Temple of Vesta in Tivoli, near Rome. It is dedicated to the memory of Hervey’s cousin Frideswide Mussenden. |
 | Free Derry Corner Free Derry was a self-declared nationalist area of Derry, between 1969 and 1972. Its name was taken from a sign painted on a gable wall in the Bogside in January 1969 which read, "You are now entering Free Derry". The area, which included the Bogside and Creggan neighbourhoods, was secured by community activists following an incursion into the Bogside by members of the police force. |
 | Grianán of Aileach The Grianán of Aileach is a group of historic monuments in County Donegal, built on the hill of Grianán which is 244 metres high. Most historians have identified the site as being the great ’royal fort‘ of Aileach. The main monument is that of an Iron Age stone fortress. It is accepted to be the seat of the Kingdom of Aileach. The Grianán was a historical centre of culture and politics during the rule of early Irish chieftains (c. 800 B.C.E.-1200 C.E.). |
