St. Enda's Church is a 19th-century Roman Catholic church in Gort na gCapall, a village on Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands. The church features a simple stone exterior and a timber roof, with a nave and chancel layout. It serves as a local place of worship and a stop for visitors exploring the island's heritage.

- View the church's interior, including the wooden pews, a carved altar, and a stained-glass window depicting Saint Enda, the island's patron saint.
- Walk the short path from the church to the adjacent graveyard, where headstones date from the 19th century and bear traditional Irish names.
- Combine your visit with a walk to the nearby Dún Eochla, a stone fort 500 metres away, for views over the island's limestone terraces.
