  2. Galway was surrounded by a wall and it was called the town wall. There are different Forts in Galway but there are not so much in it now. The spanish Arch is the name of a fort that once fortified Galway, and the spanish men built it. Where the Fort Hill cemetry is now there was also a Fort which fortified the town. There was a Fort also where the Davey Cinema now stands called the Town Wall. They used to make holes through it and got shooting through these holes.
