Downpatrick is one of
Ireland's most ancient and historic towns. It takes its name
from a dún (fort), which once stood on the hill that
dominates the town and on which the cathedral stands.
Ptolemy about the year AD 130 includes it as Dunum in
his list of towns of Ireland. The old name of the town was
Rath Celtair. It was superseded by the name Dun-leth-glas
which in turn gave way in the 13th century to the present
name of Dún Phádraig (anglisied as Downpatrick) - from the
town's connection with the patron saint of Ireland.
Saint Patrick was reputedly
buried here in 461 on Cathedral Hill, within the grounds of
Down Cathedral. His grave is still a place of pilgrimage on
St Patricks Day (17 March). The Saint Patrick Visitor Centre
in Downpatrick is purpose-built to tell the story of St
Patrick.
