The Irish round tower

origins and architecture explored

Edición de la obra The Irish round tower

"There has been much debate on the origin of the Round Tower, but few publications. This book, which makes a significant contribution to the debate, is the first for twenty years on the subject and only the second published during the twentieth century. In this fully-illustrated study the author views them as an integral unit of an often now-vanished ecclesiastical complex."--BOOK JACKET. "Their architectural design, construction, function and landscape setting are looked at in detail and the uniqueness of each Round Tower is described."--Jacket.
