Capall Mór Unicorn Statue on the N22: Ireland’s Living Fae, Mythology, and Folklore in Sculpture
Roadside travelers on Ireland’s N22 will spot a striking figure rising against the green hills: the Capall Mór unicorn statue. Shimmering with an almost spectral presence, this equine monument recalls the very heart of faerie, mythology, and folklore, blending centuries-old legend with the modern landscape. The choice of a unicorn, steeped in symbolism, acts as a visual anchor that links local mythic traditions to a living, breathing geography.
