The monastic complex of '''Sceilg Mhichíl''', perched since about the 7th century on the steep sides of the rocky island of Skellig Michael, some 12 km off the coast of south-west [[Ireland]], illustrates the very spartan existence of the first [[Irish]] [[Christians]]. Since the extreme remoteness of Skellig Michael has until recently discouraged visitors, the site is exceptionally well preserved.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/659</ref>
