E’ qui, sul tavolo verde di questo affascinante lembo d’Irlanda del Nord che si sono giocate alcune delle carte più importanti nella partita della storia dell’isola. Armagh, capoluogo dell’omonima contea, fu capitale dell’Ulster, casa di San Patrizio, patria di Brian Boru (il re che sconfisse i Vichinghi) e cuore ecclesiastico d’Irlanda. Bel poker, no?
Ma quella è acqua passata… Oggi Armagh offre al visitatore, oltre a pregevoli testimonianze storiche, anche un volto moderno e vivace. La sua principale attrazione non sono però né i monumenti, né i pub ma i meleti a perdita d’occhio che la ricoprono e che in primavera trasformano il paesaggio in una romantica nuvola di petali rosa… Ecco perché Armagh si è guadagnata l’appellativo di Orchard County, la contea dei frutteti.
Mele a parte, sono molte le tentazioni sul territorio: monumenti sotto tutela del National Trust, attrazioni per bambini, musei, parchi ed eventi culturali di grande richiamo.

…la tradizione cristiana è radicatissima nella contea? Nel 455 San Patrizio fondò la prima chiesa cristiana dell’isola nell’antica città di Armagh, tuttora considerata capitale spirituale d’Irlanda.
