Armagh
Armagh is the county town of County Armagh within Northern Ireland. It is the ecclesiastical capital of Ireland-- the seat of the Archbishops of Armagh, the Primates of All Ireland for both the Roman Catholic Church and also the Church of Ireland. In historic times, the town and its neighbouring Navan Fort, Eamhain Mhacha, was one of the great royal capitals of pagan Gaelic Ireland. In spite of its categorisation as a medium-sized town, Armagh was presented city status in 1994 and Lord Mayoralty status in 2012, both by Queen Elizabeth II. With reference to the permanent resident population of 14,749 people assessed at the time of the 2011 Census, it is the least populated city in Northern Ireland as well as the fourth smallest in the United Kingdom. Armagh has for an extended period of time been a centre of learning, and is frequently regarded as 'the city of saints and scholars'. The academic custom continued through the centuries, with the formation of the Royal School in 1608 and the Armagh Observatory in 1790 as vivid signs of this well established reputation. To combat the problem of a diminishing city centre and to resolve the issues of local people, Armagh City and District Council opted to update the surfaces and overall appeal of the key shopping locations. It will renew the centre of Armagh, changing it into a high quality pedestrianised environment. Along with all-new street layouts, the appeal of the city centre is planned to be increased by updated lighting, paving, seating, bins and greenery.
