Dingle town is the heart and soul of the Dingle Peninsula. It is the most westerly town in Europe and a stronghold of the arts. In medieval times the harbor was the departure point for pilgrims traveling to the grave of St James at Santiago de Compostela in Spain. The pilgrimage was so important that the Spanish are said to have built the first church on the site of the present day Church of Ireland on Main Street, which is called St James's after the Spanish patron. With mountains at its back, Dingle faces comfortably onto a sheltered harbor. From level ground at Strand Street on the harbor's edge, and from the Mall beside the Dingle River, three main streets rise: Green Street, John Street and Main Street. About 1,200 people live in Dingle, but it serves the larger population of the surrounding countryside, and in the summer months it hosts many visitors.
