English: The Claddagh ( Irish: An Cladach - meaning, "a stony beach") is an area close to the centre of Galway city, where the Corrib River meets Galway Bay. It was formerly a fishing village, just outside the old city walls. It is just across the river from the Spanish Arch, which was the location of regular fish markets where the locals supplied the city with seafood as recently as the end of the 19th century. People have been gathering seafood and fishing from the area for millennia. It is one of the oldest former fishing villages in Ireland - its existence having been recorded since the arrival of Christianity in the 5th century.

Bhíodh rí ar an gCladach, a toghtaí imeasc na ndaoine, agus dheineadh sé breithiúnas ar chásanna idir na daoine. Sa Chladach, freisin, a thosaigh nós fáinne an Chladaigh, a d'iompraíodh mná i mbealaí éagsúla, ag brath ar a stádas cleamhnais.
