The Spanish Arch in Galway, Ireland, is a historic site featuring two remaining arches that were part of the city wall extension built in the 16th century. Originally constructed to protect the city's quays, the arches were later connected to The Long Walk promenade by the Eyre family in the 18th century. Despite being partially destroyed by a tsunami in 1755, the Spanish Arch remains a popular landmark and cultural symbol in Galway, appearing in various media works set in the city.
