Killybegs is scenically set at the foot of a harbor full of boats and trawlers. Its most notable place in history is as the final port of call for La Girona, a ship of the Spanish Armada fighting in the war against England, before she was lost off the nearby Antrim coast. Beyond the massive hauls of fish brought in and imported daily, Killybegs is further renowned for the artful Donegal Carpets that were once woven here on the world’s largest carpet loom. These magnificent works—created in a Turkish hand-knotted style—were created for notable buildings the world over.
