About Athlone
- Sean's Bar in Athlone, which stands on the west bank of the Shannon, claims to be the oldest pub in Ireland and one of the oldest in the world, with records of a drinking establishment on the site dating back to 900 AD. The claim has been supported by archaeological evidence found during renovations, including wattle walls and coins from the tenth century, and the pub is listed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest bar in Ireland. Athlone's position at the centre of Ireland and on the Shannon — the longest river in Ireland and Britain — has made it a strategic and commercial hub since prehistoric times, and the town's castle, which was built by the Normans in the twelfth century, reflects its importance as a crossing point and a military stronghold.
