Skellig Michael (
Irish:
Sceilig Mhichíl), or
Great Skellig (
Irish:
Sceilig Mhór) is the larger of the two
Skellig Islands located 11.6 km west of the
Iveragh Peninsula in
County Kerry, Ireland.

Christian monastery was founded on the island at some point between the 6th and 8th century and remained continuously occupied until its abandonment in the late 12th century. The remains of the monastery, along with most of the island itself, became a
UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.
