It was formerlyTemplate:When a fishing village, just outside the old city walls. It is just across the river from the Spanish Arch, which was the location of regular fish markets where the locals supplied the city with seafood as recently as the end of the 19th century.
The original village of thatched cottages was razed in the 1930s and replaced by a council-housing scheme.[2]
The Claddagh is most famous internationally for the Claddagh ring,[3] which is popular among those of Irish heritage as both a friendship and wedding ring. This traditional design consists of two clasped hands holding a crowned heart, and symbolises love, friendship and loyalty.
The Claddagh area contains a national school, community centre and a Catholic church as well as the new Claddagh Arts Centre.
