The Diamond is the main square in Donegal Town.It forms the town centre with an extensive pedestrian area with seating and trees. It includes a prominent 'obelisk' unveiled in 1938 celebrating 'the Four Masters', four Gaelic historians led by Brother Mícheál Ó Cléirigh who wrote The Annals of the Four Masters between 1630 and 1636.
The town grew up around a castle built there by Manghus Ó Domhnaill, ruler of Tír Chonaill (mostly modern County Donegal), in the 16th century. It later became a British Army garrison town until most of Ireland won independence as a dominion called the Irish Free State in early December 1922.
