The city's main square is also called Kennedy Memorial Park (the American president received a triumphant welcome in Galway in 1963). On the northwest side, you can see the remains of a Renaissance gateway (1627) called Browne Doorway (DORAS DE BRUN), named after the former owners who lived in the district (the Brownes were part of the 14 merchant families or tribes who held power over Galway in the Middle Ages). In the southwest, the shopping centre has integrated part of the old walls and the two towers.
