 tower, interesting place, historic ruins, 14th century construction
Magdalen Tower is a landmark located at the highest point of the northern part of Drogheda, County Louth, in Ireland. All that now remains of the once important Dominican Friary is the belfry tower. Lucas de Netterville, then Archbishop of Armagh, founded the monastery in about 1224.
The tower itself is of 14th-century construction. The importance of this friary is signified by the fact that it was here that O'Neill and the other Ulster chiefs acknowledged their submission to Richard II, King of England, at the end of 14th-century.
