Monaghan (Irish: Muineachán ) is a town in the Republic of Ireland, the administrative capital of County Monaghan. Monaghan means "land of the little hills", a reference to the numerous drumlins in the area. Monaghan town has a population of 6,000 people.
The centre of the town is made up of four interconnecting squares: Market Square (or Street), Church Square, The Diamond, and Old Cross Square. Sited in Market Square is the Market House (built 1792), now an art gallery. The County Museum, which has won the Council of Europe Award for its display of history and archaeology, is located nearby. The most outstanding building of all is St Macartan's Cathedral with its wonderful rose window and spire.
