## Image Caption

Teampall Chiaráin on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, west off the coast of Galway, [Ireland](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/Ireland/).

The church was dedicated to St. Ciaran, who lived in the 6th century CE, spent seven years on Aran as a student of St. Enda and later founded the Clonmacnoise monastery.

The east windows suggest a 12th-century dating of the building. The north doorway (visible in the picture) is a late medieval insertion.
