Skellig Michael, a small, rugged island off the coast of Ireland, is a place steeped in history and magic. Originally established as a monastic retreat in the 6th century, the island served as a monastery, with its stone structures and steep stairways still intact today. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Skellig Michael offers insights into early Christian life and gained fame as a filming location for the "Star Wars" movies, where it served as Luke Skywalker's hideaway. This NFT features a stunning image of Skellig Michael, capturing the mystical atmosphere and the remarkable connection between history and modern pop culture.
An extraordinary monastery sits at dizzying heights on the small island of Skellig Michael in Ireland. You can reach the island by boat and then climb the 600 steps to the beehive huts at the summit.
The unreal atmosphere of the abandoned "beehives" certainly inspired the film team of the Starwars saga to choose the island as a filming location or retreat for Luke Skywalker, who certainly didn't have to go to the island by boat.
