About Kilree Round Tower, Ireland

The artwork titled “Kilree Round Tower, Ireland,” created by the artist “Romanesque Architecture” in the year 1150, is a notable representation of the Romanesque art movement. Falling under the genre of architecture, this piece is part of the “Towers” series. The artwork exemplifies the distinctive characteristics of Romanesque design through its form and construction techniques.

The Kilree Round Tower is a cylindrical stone structure that rises prominently amidst a verdant landscape. Its robust, vertical form is capped with what once was a conically shaped roof, now partially eroded but still retaining its distinct ancient allure. The tower is punctuated with small, circular windows placed high up, indicating its historical function as both a lookout and a sanctified refuge. The stonework, marked by rough and uneven texture, speaks to the age-old craftsmanship and enduring solidity typical of Romanesque architectural style. Encircled by lush greenery and beneath a bright sky, the tower stands as a testament to medieval architectural prowess and the historical legacy of Ireland.
