Armagh Gaol
Explore this Grade B listed building before plans to transform the building get under way. Armagh Gaol, one of Northern Ireland’s most important historic buildings, is a landmark building within the City and makes a vital contribution to the townscape character. Visitors to the city’s famous Mall will be most familiar with the gaol’s impressive grey façade.
